I need a Windows laptop that can run the latest version of ArcGIS.
I know I need an I7 processor. ArcGIS is probably going to be the most graphically demanding thing I do, I’m not really into gaming and I don’t need to edit video.
Battery life is very important to me.
I’m willing to spend up to $1200, but as a student, I would certainly look for a college discount. I do not need a touch screen, and am not interesting in paying extra for one.
Bluetooth would be nice, but its not hard to add it to a computer that doesn’t have it.
I’ve been partial to the Thinkpad series, and would buy another, but I am open to other options. Can’t be Compaq, Acer, or Gateway, those tend to be crap.
I do not need an “Ultrabook”. I think those are a waste of money.
