I have managed 3 small businesses and work FT as an instructor for over 23 years. I relied on Dells to support the bookkeeping software (and work on an Apple) because Home & Business can not operate on an Apple. I need a light compact laptop to replace my dying Dell Lattitude immediately. What is the best laptop (PC) for this software that I can take with me to do the books (on vacation)? I would also like it to download quickly from the various banking and financial sites (which I understand is also respectful of the sites too). Thank you.

    Or maybe even better, use a 17" laptop (Inspiron 17). It has a full size keyboard with numeric keypad and a larger screen. Over the years, I've been using several of these.

    Anything in the $1500 range of Microsoft laptop/surface pro should do the job.  Just make sure that it runs a full version of Windows.

    Thank you for responding. What about HP or Lenovo?

    That a good question for PCMag or CNet, we do Quicken here, not computer brand evaluations.

    I have a Asus with full keyboard and number pad that works great and is very skinny and light.  

    I'm staying on Quicken 2013 Premier for Windows.

    I avoid HP & Dell. Neither lets you have full control of your PC. And HP is downright obnoxious. I like Asus, who allows more access to BIOS & such.

    Quicken user since version 2 for DOS, as of 2025 using QWin Premier (US) on Win10 Pro & Win11 Pro on 2 PCs.
