Hi,

I need to purchase a laptop for college and I will be majoring in meteorology. Need suggestions for a laptop that will take me into grad school. Will be working with live feeds to satellites, will be working with microsoft software, fortran, need memory, good size screen, multiple screen images but portable for outdoor use if needed. Any advice is appreciated.... BEST BUY and other techs not familiar with use in meteorology... Thanks... Cheers.. Sophia
