Windows is out then. I recommend Linux.

>> Any suggestions for an idiot-proof laptop for swing-trading? Cost not important. I want something that always works and never crashes, if that exists. Macbook Pro? apple.com with at least 16GB+ memory...

Do you really need a laptop? If you are working from home, buy a desktop. Use a tablet or average laptop to carry around home and even to remote screen into your desktop. But if you want a laptop, I've been happy with the upper end Lenovo thinkpads. I have an X1 Carbon and it's very good and portable. But it may be a bit too minimalistic for some people. It's not cheap either.

I second Sun Tzu on the Lenovo. An AMD chip is wicked fast, and that's all we have in our house is AMD. Make sure it has an SSD. Don't get a conventional HDD. Laptops are fine for trading, IMO, if you are quick with them. Get 16GB memory, and a good chipset to load charts quickly.

Personally, I need 'screen space', so I use a four monitor desktop workstation. However, in the past when I was traveling to NY to help out with taking care of my mom, I used one of these. They support three additional desktop monitors via two thunderbolt ports and an HDMI, so I simply stashed three monitors at my mom's house, brought the laptop with me, and voila, a quad monitor system for trading. lenovo.com ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 (16” Intel) Laptop 4.3 (256) Take your imagination to the extremeUp to Intel® vPro® H series processors With NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ discrete graphics options Dolby Vision™ & exquisite 16",16:10 display with ultra-thin bezels Dolby Atmos® speakers that brings all the power to life A larger battery to support all day battery life Huge storage options ThinkSheild security features Connectivity options deliver untethered access to create from anywhere Perfect laptop for students, architects, engineers, designers and professional alike
