Thank you both for your responses. I'll have to rethink what I really want to accomplish with the laptop. Melanie

I'm buying a new laptop and want to get the best configuration I can. I have a tower computer, so this is just so i can be mobile and process some photos on vacation, etc. This is what I've come up with so far: Processor 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-8300H Processor (4 Core, 8MB Cache, 2.3GHz, 45W) OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit English Base Options Is this good? It doesn't give a choice on this laptop. Intel® Core™ i5 8300H with Intel UHD 630 Graphics with DisplayPort over USB Type-C Memory - 16GB, 1x16GB, DDR4 2666MHz Non-ECC Hard Drive - M.2 512GB PCIe NVMe Class 40 Solid State Drive (largest one available) Display I do have some other choices here. There are a couple Touch w/Truelife options. 15.6" FHD 1920 x 1080 Anti-Glare Non-Touch ,WVA Camera & Microphone, WLAN/WWAN Capable Wireless Qualcomm® QCA61x4A 802.11ac Dual Band (2x2) Wireless Adapter+ Bluetooth 4.1 Or: Qualcomm® QCA6174A Extended Range 802.11ac MU-MIMO Dual Band (2x2) Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.1 Primary Battery 4 Cell 68Whr ExpressCharge™ Capable Battery Or: 4 Cell 68Whr Long Life Battery (includes 3 year limited hardware warranty) Removable CD/DVD Drives - Dell USB Slim DVD +/- RW Drive - DW316 Any advise would be appreciated.
