Hi,
I'm pondering buying a Dell laptop with an Intel Core i3-4030U processor
and 4GB of DDR3, 1600MHz RAM.
Benchmark seems decent :

CPU seems rather good :

I would like to load Linux on it to use it as a LAMP development box.
Most of my work is custom PHP, however I may need to spend some time
with Drupal which is a resource hog. It is my hope running local-host
would mitigate some of the Drupal issues.
I might want to use it to edit videos and potentially images.
I was thinking of using a Modern IE
https://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools in a Virtual Box
https://www.virtualbox.org/ so I can have Internet Explorer for testing.
I don't think I will need any other Windows software, or at least that
is my hope.
I have not done something like this before so I thought I would ask the
experts. Is my approach solid or is there something I am missing or
should consider?
Thanks in advance,
Keith
