Hi!
As much as necessary but not go massively overkill, if you understand!
It would mostly be for watching movies , browsing, and SimCity. I have a gaming pc so it doesn't have to be a real powerhouse as the most strenuous thing i'll play on it is probably SimCity!
SSD isn't really needed as it adds quite a bit onto the cost doesn't it?
Hopefully 17 inch, full HD as like I said it would be for movies too.
Thanks for your help!
