Dance while the record spins Senior Member 1,548 posts Joined: Apr 2005	Very blur on laptops, notebooks, etc. I notice a lot of them have 4GB ram, but I was using 4GB in my old desktop (> 5 years old) already so would prefer at least 8GB. 1. Preferred Brand: Any major brand 2. Budget: 4k 3. Usage: Office use. Will use with external monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse inside the office. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size: I guess 13' will do for on the road. I'm afraid specifications will suffer if smaller? Thanks!

Most of these manufacturer websites are horrible for easy finding of specifications. Changing my preference to: 1) 8GB 2) SSD + HD 3) Minimum i5 Portability, battery life etc will come secondary as will use it mostly in the office. So far scanned through Dell (vostro 3560) and Lenovo (U410).
