@LadyKate - for adding books, my rankings would be disk speed (eg SSD v HDD), memory capacity, and CPU a distant third.

I add books to an Intake library which is on an SSD, after getting the basics right - e.g. authors, title, and ISBN and doing any 'quick' conversions (e.g. AZW to ePub) I move them to their permanent libraries on an HDD.

But dual disk (SSD and HDD) laptops are few and far between. There are hybrid dual drives. i.e separate SSD and HDD drives ina single 'package'. You might be able to get that in a Dell Alienware laptop, I recently put one into my Dell Alien Alpha.
