F150 Tremor FORScan

[TexasTea]

So, I'm getting ready to buy an expensive windows laptop so that I can run FORScan. Will a laptop with 8GB of ram suffice? OR should I get one that is 16GBs?

Thx!

You'll NEVER be sad that you got more RAM. Get as much as you can afford. Matters way more than raw processer speed in almost every consumer use case.

I hear ya...but I'm only buying this so that I can play around with FORScan. I'll probably get 16 GBs.

Keep an eye on woot.com for refurbs and the like...i picked up an older latitude refurb with 16gb for <$400 specifically for vehicle shenanigans

make friends with IT nerds for local colleges if you can too...lotta times when it comes time for refreshes the schools give IT an option to purchase at a discount and they tend to call friends and family (private institutions are easier/more common since public ones have to deal with tax funded items being sold) worst case those folks will no who they "recycle" through and that company may have steep discounts and or IT staff can give them a wink wink nudge nudge.

Get 16GB. Windows will reserve 8 and then your apps will fight over the scraps. With 16 everything is happy.
