Personally I think it's a good investment to spend a little more on a laptop. These are the specs I consider most important.
- SSD (minimum 256GB but ideally you would want 512GB so you have enough storage space to capture your data). Prices for SSD's have dropped significantly over the last 6 months.
- Minimum 2x USB 3 ports
- 13.3" is ideal! 1080p resolution so you have enough real estate on the screen for your apps. I have seen people use a little 10" netbook. While they are portable and easy to carry around the resolution is dreadful!
- Decent battery (if you have no mains in the field or at home)
