Can anyone give some tips on what to look out for? Is there some windows only software? What’s the most important spec? I feel like it’s battery life maybe? If I have another more powerful pc at home how much should I spend on the laptop and how important are those minimum requirements (16gb ram, 512ssd) that eth sets?
So about a year ago, I reached a peak rating of ~1250 and I felt like a really solid chess player, barely blundering and seeing some tactics as well as solid openings. I didn’t play for a little over a year. Now for the past month or so, I got back into playing and I am barely able to keep up with 750 elo players (mind you it’s still the same account, so I actually dropped all the way in the last month). Is this normal or did something happen to my brain that makes me just way less intelligent than before?
I’ve got the opportunity to have a small studio there, but Google say 55+ minutes for commute to eth. Not sure if that’s sensible long term. Any experiences with the trains and stuff? Is the regular city public transport subscription fine to travel to Winterthur?
Budget around 750€ maybe up to 1000€, is that realistic and what are some good choices for longevity? Not really planning to do crazy stuff with it and I’m not the biggest fan of MacOS but willing to try.
