Hi everyone,
Pretty basic question. I'm a year into my PhD, but I am shopping for a new laptop right now. I was using a 7 year-old Dell laptop from undergrad, but it is no longer meeting my needs. I don't really need a top-notch processor or the ability to run fancy software, but the screen quality should be as great as possible. Of course I'm looking at a lot of images, so the clearer, the better. I am also reading a lot of digitized books, which are usually 200-250 years old and full of engravings. My poor netbook, which I've been relying on, can't handle these books.
Can anyone recommend a laptop that might fit this criteria? Price is of course a consideration but I want to gather some candidates and price them from there.
What do you use? How happy are you with it as an art historian?
Thanks!
