Re: Driver Station Laptop

I tried replacing our previous laptop since it was wearing out. Make sure you get a laptop with a conventional Ethernet jack. Do not get one with the fold down clip. The Lenovo we used this year had the fold down clip and we kept losing comms whenever it got jostled at the field.

My typical specs for the driver station are
1) 15" display
2) 1080P Screen (we do custom control panels and use the space)
3) 8GB RAM
4) i5 Processor (we sometimes do vision processing, considering lowering to i3)
5) SSD is nice to have but not required since we try not to use this for programming during competitions.
