Friend has asked me for suggestions on a laptop so I'm asking my friends, here :)
Her usage is "a program called NVIVO. It's a qualitative data analysis programme. Also Goecortex a lot for work and then just basic things like word processing and playing the sims. Lots and lots of the sims".
She's wanting to walk in and buy tomorrow, Friday, so looking at the major retailers.
The input is appreciated.
Thanks
Just get anything with at least 16GB of RAM in my opinion.
Like these two if they have to go to a Store tomorrow…

If there is a MSY nearby then this would be good (could be overkill)

Thanks all. Have passed on the suggestions.
$1200 is too much. If the laptop is only to be used for NVIVO, you can grab even the cheapest ones here:
