What sort of things will you be using it for?<br>Her: A bit of family history, emails and gaming.<br>BY: You will only need a basic one to play Solitaire.<br>Her: (cold Paddington Bear stare while she contemplated removing his kidneys with a blunt spoon) One with a separate graphics card, i5 at least and 32 GB RAM if you have it please.</p><p>She was fuming all the way home.
