I anticipate spending about $2500 all up, one laptop, one 24" monitor, one batch of accessories.
To Dave in Denver, those specs are not too far off from what I use in my architectural office, but i am specifically looking for a highly portable laptop here.
Requirements:
- 32GB Ram
- 1TB SSD
- Compact form factor for backpack use on a very slender girl. Screen: 13"? 14"?
To compare, the 16" MacBook was "Eew, way too heavy Dad. No way!"
- Long battery life. As an athlete, they travel a LOT, and need long battery life on planes, buses, etc...
- Illuminated keyboard
- Good trackpad
I will be adding a 24" monitor as well (anything bigger might not fit in the dorm room!)
