OK Ted
I got a laptop, HP Envy 17t , non touch screen, as my hands are greasy and filthy all the time, so to me a touch didn't make sense, yet. Not for a laptop.
Windows 10 Home 64
6th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U Dual Core Processor + NVIDIA GeForce 940M 2GB Discrete Graphics
8GB DDR3L - 1 DIMM
17.3" also got 1920x1080

Hope this will be good enough to play horses with and watch movies and FB too
Thanks Ted
PS: if all goes well , I can see how a Surface 4 works whenever I got to Best Buy, or someplace that has one, and can have that as a backup to play at the track, the idea of touch screen does intrigue me alot, and the Pen ability to write on it , so many possibilities there, so laptop 1st, then maybe Tablet
thanks
Patrick
