Hi,

They are very basic requirements which most modern notebooks will meet.

I would get at least FHD screen resolution and would not get a Celeron or Pentium CPU

You can choose the size you want (13" 14"....)

These are more budget oriented

Personally, I usually go for the Envy line of notebooks

Hope it helps,

David
