I've been so far out of the tech loop for so damn long I don't even know what to look for anymore.
My wife is wanting a new laptop to run Quickbooks accounting on. It needs to have Windows 10 on it for sure, (which I'm sure everything comes standard with anymore). She also wants a nice high resolution screen (probably the larger the better) for photo editing and viewing. No movie editing or gaming will be done. Touchscreen is not necessary, overall size really doesn't matter as it won't really be carried around anywhere, just moved from place to place in the house. A 10 key number pad on the side of the keyboard for accounting purposes is necessary, and she would prefer a backlit keyboard, but that isn't a deal killer...
How large of a computer memory should we be looking for? She takes quite a few photos, but it is just of our own family, not doing photography as a side job or anything like that. Is a HDD or Solid state drive better for this usage case? How many gigs of ram should I be looking at to make things run smoothly? Any recommendations on solid brands to look at? Neither of us are Apple fans, so those are out. Of course cheaper is always preferred as long as it gets the job done well! Refurbished would be fine as long as it is solid and reliable.
