Specs for new laptop for L5?

I'm looking for a lighter weight laptop and I'm not sure what would run L5 well. I'm used to my desktop with an i7 processor and 20" monitor. Would this Acer be good, or would it be too frustrating for speed and screen real estate? I do prefer Windows 7. Thanks for any feedback!

Just my opinion.

I would definitely want 8 GB of RAM, not just 4GB. Other than that, I think it would do fine.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

A lot of users have experienced Logos running slowly when using a 5400 RPM drive so I would be concerned about using that as my Logos hard drive.

Any chance of upgrading up to 7200 or having a larger SSD on which you can install Logos?

I, too, would have the same recommendation. It seems to be rare to find a laptop with a 7200 RPM drive, but unless you have a bigger SSD you're going to notice the drag without it.
