The prompt

can-this-laptop-handle-it.prompt
Evaluate whether {{device}} can realistically handle {{workload}} for a user with a {{budget}} budget. Give a blunt verdict first: comfortably, usable with compromises, or not recommended. Then explain the likely bottlenecks (CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, thermals, battery, display, or software compatibility) in plain language. For {{workload}}, estimate the kind of real-world performance the user should expect, what settings or workflow changes would help, and which upgrades or accessories are actually worth considering. Distinguish between requirements that are essential and nice-to-have improvements. Include: 1. A quick verdict. 2. The key hardware requirements for {{workload}}. 3. What {{device}} is likely to do well. 4. Where it will struggle. 5. The best settings or workflow compromises. 6. Whether spending up to {{budget}} would be better spent upgrading this device or replacing it. 7. Three realistic alternatives or upgrade paths, when appropriate. Make the response useful for long-tail searches such as whether a specific laptop can handle a workload, whether it is worth upgrading, and what performance compromises to expect. Do not invent specifications for the device. If important specifications are missing, clearly state what needs to be checked before giving a confident verdict. Avoid generic benchmark claims unless they are clearly qualified.
