Hello Statalisters,

I don't know if I'm allowed to post this thread as it is not related to Stata per se but to the best ways to use Stata. For the next years I might have to spend my days using Stata and my laptop is currently dying, so I need to replace it. At this moment, my laptop struggles with large datasets or regressions using a lot of iterations (it can take several hours to run, and with a noise that is very worrying and uncomfortable).

Sadly, I don't know anything about computers. So I wanted to know if there was any tech fan among this forum to tell me what are the main components I should pay attention to when looking for a new laptop. I'm not interested in brands, mainly about the components!

Thank you in advance,

Adam
