Hi All,
It's been a long time since I've done this, but my i3 4gb 13.3 lafite from 4/5 years ago is starting to struggle. I use it for office work, logos Bible software (recommended specs here, I think they overstate the need for graphics https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007554992-Recommended-Hardware-and-Software) with dragon naturally speaking simultaneously. I do a little home photo editing, bit not often and only home photos. Windows Pro is for bitlocker for GDPR for work. I was also thinking about the Vyper, but the weight might be too much. Anything you'd suggest different to the below:
