• if you don't mind giving up battery life, then, consider a 4K display rather than Full HD (1920×1080), especially if you are going for a 13“ or larger screen

• this could be very useful for:
  • fine editing with a pen, etc
  • flicking through your image gallery especially if you can use it as a tablet

• 256Gb should be a bare minimum
• 512Gb is better
• 1Gb even better but is very expensive and may be overkill, especially these days when we can use a fast USB 3.0 or 3.1 external drive

• aim for a 10th generation quad core Intel i7 or perhaps i5 if you can't afford the i7 (quad core i5 will beat a dual core i7)
  • the HQ suffix is quad core and although better performance, it runs at 45W not 15W so eats up the battery faster
• aim for minimum of 8Gb RAM, preferably 16Gb

• in 2017, an example would be the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 with 4GB GDDR5

• SD card reader preferable (otherwise need a external USB 3 card reader which is a nuisance)
• USB 3.1 Thunderbolt port for even faster and more future proof capabilities
