As an alternative to a desktop for my home PC that I'd like to be dead-silent, I was wondering if I should go for a laptop instead:
Laptops...
- take less space than a desktop
- are built from the start to be very silent, as they can't be put under a desk
- have a keyboard layout that's a bit different, but I can hook up a regular PC keyboard
- can be sold with a more compact screen but I can connect a bigger monitor at home
- don't have room for a second hard drive, but I can connect a small NAS to my LAN to back up data
- have good enough CPUs for moderate use
If not, what brands and models (available in Europe) would you recommend for a very silent and good quality laptop for moderate use (Internet, LibreOffice, small development in .Net and Python, etc.)?
Thank you.
