Ideally I'd get an i7 quad core with plenty of ram and a high clock speed but money is a factor and so I'm looking for value for money, trying to avoid paying a lot more for better specs that only provide minimally noticeable benefits.
My new laptop does have 8GB RAM compared with 4GB on the older machine, that's true. But memory is nowhere near overcommitted on the older laptop while doing conversions, so I don't think that's a particular issue.
