Looking for a laptop (PC) to tether to CaptureOne/Lightroom

I am in the market for a laptop (PC) for tethering to my Canon 5DSR with CaptureOne. Will a PC with a 256GB SSD, 8GB
Ram, and Intel Core i5 processor do a good job? Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Mary

Those specs will easily do that job, may be overkill. You don't need an SSD for this, but SSDs are generally great for making everything faster, but standard disks often have much more capacity.

I'll tell you on monday.

About to start tethering a bunch of 5DS and 5DSR to some i7 laptops with 8GB of ram and 256GB SSD's.
I suspect render time for each image will still be a few seconds though. It's certainly not instant on the i7 Xeon workstations running multiple SSD's.

Okay, I've done some shopping and I wonder what you think of this laptop for CaptureOne (I haven't purchased)

Dell - XPS 15.6" 4K Ultra HD Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 1TB Solid State Drive:

Hard Drive Capacity 1000 gigabytes
Hard Drive Type Solid State Drive
Operating System Windows 10
Processor Brand Intel
Processor Speed 3.5 gigahertz
Processor Model Intel Core i7
System Memory (RAM) 16 gigabytes
Screen Size 15.6 inches

don't know what a typical windows install costs in HD space these days., but i'm assuming you are going to want more space than 256G.

Your bottleneck will be the USB cord from camera to computer.

i tether CaptureOne on an older mac (Core 2 Duo 2GHz)with my 6D (USB 2) and everything runs just fine. Well, other than CaptureOne being a little flaky sometimes.

A 1TB SSD probably makes it kinda expensive, but that's pretty much the fastest standard laptop you can buy right now, it should do everything well.
