Image capture laptop -minimum recommended requirements?

Hi IIS'ers,

my old 2gb ram 500gb laptop struggles a fair bit with PHD2 and byeos, sometimes it will lose the guidestar while downloading an image or previewing an image.

I'm shortly moving over to Mono - and will be plopping some new software on, I was thinking of buying SGPro for example. With the change I think I should probably upgrade the old lappy while i'm there.

looking for a budget lappy, minimum recommended standards so things run smooth (ie I can have phd2 running and have other software running nicely) I would guess if I tried automated focus it would take an eternity on my existing laptop.

is something with 4 gig ram enough, or should I be looking at 8 gig ram for example? I have built a reasonably powerful desktop for home (i5 4690k @4.4ghz 16gig ram, gtx 970, ssd etc etc etc) so only really will use it for capture.

Cheers.

Russ
