From Choice - How to Buy the Best Laptop

A great overview article about which laptop to purchase.

Apple still comes out at the top.

For Assistive Tech Windows users, I always recommend an I7, 16GB RAM, and at least 256GB of SSD.

Here are 3 brand names that were recommended to me:

Lenovo Dell XPS13, and Surface Laptops.
