I am going to be looking for a new laptop shortly and as it's a while since I got a new one, I'm not particularly up to speed on what's out there and what's going to be a good deal. I will be using it for work but also for my personal use.
I don't understand too much about technical aspects of computers, so please don't blind me with jargon. I'd just like to know which makes and models are currently well-regarded and what is likely to be best avoided.
I have weighed up the pros and cons of MacBook versus Windows and as I already have an iPhone and iPad, I'm not sure I really want to sell my soul to Apple completely. Also, some of the genealogy software that I use is for Windows, and I don't really want to have to replace all that with Mac versions.
Thanks in advance.
