For an extended trip. I know that this has been discussed before so can anyone point me to the relevant thread.

Thinking of:

GPU GeForce RTX 3060
Maximum Resolution 1080p Full HD

SSD Capacity 512GB
CPU i5-12500H
Refresh Rate 120Hz

If this is just for CMO and writing books, that should be good. I will say that the Intel 13 series CPUs are a step above the 12 series. But that rig should have no issues with even large CMO scenarios.

Thanks

I'll check for a 13 series CPU as well. The only other stuff I play are various Cbt Msn games, Flashpoint, AB and Ultimate Adm Dreadnaught and they are less demanding.

Appreciate the advice.

1080p resolution is good for CMO as it doesn't support that well higher resolutions. Apart from that, it would be a mistake to buy a 1080p screen in 2023.

UAD can struggle with lower end GPUs, but the 3060 should be good.

1440p may be the largest resolution before resorting to scaling in order to read the contents on the screen for many people?

i use a 1440p X1 yoga gen 3 at 96 dpi and i never miss 1080p any time soon.
