Thank you for the input. I am in the market for a new laptop and am prepared to pay.
My existing laptop is an i7-5500 with 8GB of RAM and a 500Gb hard drive.
I am looking at an I7 with 32 GB of RAM and 1TB SSD.
I assume this will do the job, at least that is what Gemini is also telling me!
Things have certainly changed since I first started with BIAB in 2000. I now amaze the residents in our senior's residence with what BIAB can do!
