Looking for a laptop with win7 bundled is going to limit your options to near zero. If it's necessary, consider it only as a replacement of the OS the laptop comes with. Personally I don't see any benefit in 7 over 8.1, but I don't use pirated software and win8.1 overall works fine for me, but YMMV.

Another thing to consider is whether portability is actually necessary for what you need the computer for. Your money will go a lot farther with regard to both processing power and storage space if you get a desktop computer.

Portibility will be necessary.

Just shop around, 8gb ram, 1tb, and a decent processor should be enough to suit your needs. You can buy cheap and upgrade or check out some "build your own" sites.

Just bumping to ask another question.

I thin, I'm going to have a custom comp built by a local company. Thoughts?

Can I use a VPN through any type of computer?

if you want a big screen i'd just use a separate monitor. Most laptops have seperate video ports.

i think 19" is pretty much as big as laptop screens get and they are probably expensive af. whereas you can get a 26" 1080P monitor for like 200 bucks
