I am currently running my NT on a desktop computer, but I would like to get a laptop computer that is capable of running NT without issues. I was originally under the assumption that Ram was what I needed for the charts, but I believe a good GPU is also highly recommended.
To break it down, I usually do have a good number of charts open, roughly 7 different windows with 2 to 3 different instruments on each window. So about 21 to even 25 charts open at a given time. I also run the majority of my charts as Range, so I know it takes up a lot of data to run that in the background, especially if I have data lookback from 50 - 200 days, or in some cases even more. Along with that, I have a decent number of indicators running on top of that.
My desktop computer runs all of this efficiently, but I wanted to get something portable and wanted to check it I should focus on getting 16 gigs of ram or higher, and/or get something with a better quality dedicated GPU for the laptop? Should the focus be on RAM or GPU? Of course, CPU would be another piece as well.
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I also know that I keep a lot of charts open at once, possibly much more than other users.
