..my desktop is based on a laptop-CPU, has modest (onboard) graphic capabilites and still has no problems at all with WarCraft or Heroes of the Storm.
If your application is graphic-heavy, then I would assume you'd need something that is DirectX compatible - as that would be the way to optimize graphic output.
The i3 CPU may sound a bit slow, but during games that's not really noticable; found that its mostly memory and the hd-speed that was usually the bottleneck in my particular setup. So the desktop has a SSD card and 16GB memory. Yes, VS needs a lot of it, and it tends to read/write a lot.
That setup is now probably 4 years old, and still outperforms many "full" desktops.
So, you'd have to ask yourself how much of a bottleneck your graphics are, before thinking of optimizing it; otherwise you risc optimizing a part that may not have any impact at all.

Well, I'm using one of these bad boys[^] as my primary dev machine and I absolutely love it. Finally, recompiling C++ code is a relatively painless operation.

Another thing to look at would be external graphics enclosures. I just ordered myself a new laptop that has everything except the high end graphics card. Instead I'll be ordering myself one, most likely the HP Omen model since it has room for another HD as well, for gaming and serious graphics work.
Unfortunately that does cause the price to spike pretty quick as the enclosures are 3-400$ plus the graphics card.

Dell - I will never buy from them again, either with mine or the company's money.
Looked at Lenovo, but not that one.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of gin?

Can't believe nobody asked if it was a drinking game. You provide the Gin and I'm in.

At my company we have several MSI gamer-type laptops. They have similar specifications as the Razers do. They work really well and are very capable machines. Their only downside is they use windows 10. I am not impressed with that at all.

A "Mob" is a group of kangaroo...

No, sorry. I thought this was an easy one, looks like I might be up again Monday

Oh, bugger - I stopped trying as I thought OG was right! Now I've a got a meeting starting soon

I was just guessing TBH - the "mob" part fitted, but the rest was the only eight letter word ending with "mob" I could think of...

Hey! You're not supposed to post the answer til 1pm!
I was just about to get that!

nah it's 3 hours, always has been since DD done it. The WSO format was my inception originally - so my rules.
|
|
|
|
|
Far be it from me to get involved, but OG has the rules on his profile page, and it says 4 hours there...
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah god knows why he did that - I think he likes to make sure the OTD's carry on, but I wouldn't bother taking much notice of them the thing doesn't even need rules.
Somebody called Dalek Dave used to set these daily, back then if we didn't solve it in 3 hours then he 'won'.

Bill Gates worked from like 20 to 30 years of age without ever taking a day off of work. Most people pretend to know what it takes to make it that big, but they don't really know since they themselves never did it. As such, most of the reasoning and rationale you see online in articles like this is complete garbage written by inexperienced people. Maybe he had a head start in life, but I can guarantee you he worked his butt off to create Microsoft the way he did.
So the real answer is... work. Imagine that.
The truth is simple and yet nobody admits it.

Just noting that as a real analysis it basically gets nothing right.
And as social commentary or comedy it isn't very good either.

Copy him? Do you have any idea how hard it will be to get him out of his clothes and to lie still on the copy machine?
