Hi, It might be useful to get a slightly larger screen than usual. Alternatively, some computers support a second screen.

Most modern machines will more than suffice for the use of openstreetmap editing but it really depends on what you want to do. I've managed to get people editing the map using ID (the web browser editor) on a low-end Chromebook. For more intensive work, you may want something with an i5 or i7 processor, 8-16gb ram and an SSD storage device. A good mouse is mandatory. For editors, many people use JOSM as a local client but depending on what you're looking to achieve, QGIS is quite popular too. The community is always happy to get feedback and insight from as diverse a field as possible so encourage you to pick something, try it and let us know how you get on.
