This is NOT meant to be a Mac vs. PC thread, lets not even start, please.
I’m in need of a Windows Laptop for an upcoming job. It doesn’t have to be used for image processing (so no real heavy lifting). I know NOTHING about Windows hardware so I thought I’d ask here. I don’t want to spend a lot, but I don’t want a piece of crap either. Based on the system requirements below, can someone recommend a decent unit (better model #) from a manufacturer. And no, I can’t run Bootcamp or similar on the Mac. Has to be a real Windows machine (but presumably nothing fancy). Thanks!
