Laptop Recommendation Please

#Post
1

I use a Mac at work which I can take home for some personal use, but my personal laptop at home is dying and I need a new one to run just one piece of software (which can't run on a Mac). The requirements are:
• Pentium class computer.
• VGA or higher display.
• Windows 10 Pro or Home, Windows 8, Windows 7
Note: Runs on 64bit Windows platforms.
• A Hard Disk room for at least 500 megabytes of available space.
• 8 GB of RAM minimum.

I don't want to spend a fortune. Any recommendations?

ANY new laptop should more than cover those requirements. What you've stated are very basic specs.

What you should do is find a machine you'd like online then post a link here for us to give some advice.

Because there's certainly are machines you could buy which would be below the specs you mentioned.

What I initially meant was that any halfway decent laptop would fullfill those requirements.

"Pentium class computer" that is quite a crap description - the original Pentium probably could not get to 8Gig ram. Most probably means an i series intel wich would still be vague considering with up to like 10th or 11th Gen (i lose track). The giveaway is the ram though - 8Gig ram as a standard amount would be a like an old DDR3 unit so about 3rd to 5th Gen intel - these would be cheap... around $200-$300 at a guess.

This, I think, is a good deal if you don't mind a 12.5" laptop...

It far surpasses your requirements.
