Laptop advice
Hi All,
A friend of mine has a laptop that he uses for share trading. Today he started using a different trading platform that used many multiple windows (up to 20 of them) to display live data and charts in real time.
He reported that his GPU has started behaving strangely, and the laptop getting very hot and eventually shutting down by itself. Since this corresponds to his use of the new platform, I suspect the GPU can't quite cope - unfortunately I dont have the system specs to hand.
I'm off to do some troubleshooting for him tommorow, just to be sure it isn't a build-up of dust etc. but it looks at this stage like a new laptop is required since he wants to expand his graphics capability to expand across 3 monitors (1 x laptop monitor and 2 x external monitors).
If he chooses to buy a new laptop, can anyone offer advice of what we should be looking for?
The budget is flexible as this is his tool for his primary source of income. Robustness, good CPU, decent RAM, and high GPU capability as described above for the 3 monitors, are a MUST.
Thanks for your input,
Golden
