Re: Laptops

Although I personally use and prefer Asus, my team uses a 15-inch Toshiba Satellite equipped with 12GB RAM and an i7 for programming and the drive station. Before we bought it, we were used an older Dell Latitude with an i3 and 4GB (now upgraded to 8GB) which is still in use as a secondary computer. We appreciate the significant speed advantage a new i7 has over our older processor, with LabVIEW code taking significantly less time to compile and more complicated dashboard code being easier to run.
