Treehouse TeacherSub $1000 Windows Machine for Web Dev
Hi all,
I'm in the market for a new Windows machine. Any recommendations for a $1000 or less machine for web dev? I don't use any Adobe apps, just text editor, browser, Git and other dev tools.
Thanks!!!

Treehouse TeacherThanks for the advice all. I'm looking for a Win 8 machine with touch screen.

Treehouse TeacherThanks Zama Khan Mohammed
All models of the Z-Book look like they're over $1000. Is there a model that's less than $1000?
