Hi all,
Been reading threads for a while and just decided to join - so forgive me if this should be in a different section.
Anyway, I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I primarily need it for word processing and not processing intensive programs. I do not know much about computers, so I will list my needs and hopefully you can give me some recommendations.
Uses:
Word processing
Sequence alignment programs - geneious MEGA etc
Command line terminal - i use terminal on macs exclusively on the lab so if something similar would be helpful
Questions:
I have access to large servers and any large scale next gen data analysis will be done by ssh-ing to the servers. So what is a good RAM size if ill just be doing that.
Im a pc person typically, but use macs exclusively in my lab. Can a windows laptop work well for me?
Basically I want to be able to use microsoft word, align sequences and use terminal to login to remote places. Ive looked at asus linux laptops with the ubuntu OS but I really dont know what works. A macbook makes sense, but on my limited budget Id prefer something cheaper.
THank you!!!
