I am hoping someone can help me figure out the minimum specs I need in a new laptop. I know that it must have a 17-inch screen and have a full keyboard with number pad. I need it to be able to run Office and Quickbooks (Both memory and ram intensive from what I'm told) lite gaming (SIMS and Minecraft) and the usual email, youtube, and web surfing. I need it to be able to do all of these things without lag. I prefer HP but would consider other options and don't really have a set budget I'd like to stay around $700 but if I have to spend more to get the specs I need then I will. It's just very hard to even attempt to shop when I'm not sure exactly what it is I need in terms of the specs. Please advise....all replies are greatly appreciated.
