I have a Lenovo desktop at home with all the specs you guys recommend, I appreciate all the help so much! I also have the displays you guys recommended. We are relocating and I dont think I can bring my computer with me so hoping for the best laptop option to keep me going in the meantime (moving where electronics are hard to find). And I haven't thought of a way to get my display into my luggage! I wasn't worried about a sale price so much as I wasnt sure if I should go for the next model release or grab the "discontinued" ones based on the last rec I saw mentioned. I'll bring your suggestion to my computer dealer
Always grateful for your help and time,
Thank you!
