Dear all,

A question with regards to hardware.
Up to now i was using the laptop i have from work, but since this is gonna be a serious venture i have to separate them.

I know that i will get a windows laptop, but im not sure how sophisticated this new laptop should be. The only thing i will do on it is trading basically.
Since i want it to have a long life i need to take i guess an i7 with ssd at least.

What are your thoughts? Any experiences or recommendations you have?

Thanks!

This question comes up very often.

There are a number of threads I found by using the Search box in the top right corner of each page, and just entering "computer."

I suggest taking a look at this one, a recent one that has some depth to it, more about assembling your own, but with good discussion on what is needed and why:

New Computer Build Curious who has built a trading specific desktop? I am looking at building one here in the next few months, maybe wait until black friday and load up then as I am in no rush. For those of you who built these trading focused pc's any recommendations …

Please repost your question in that thread, or any other existing thread on the topic. We need to keep related posts reasonably organized, where possible, in related threads. You will get more answers that way and it will be more helpful to others with a similar interest.

This thread is closed to prevent a split topic.
