What software would you recommend? ArcGIS, QGIS, JOSM. I could pick up any. I would appreciate your suggestions and links to any tutorials to learn such software.
And any specific branded computer? I checked with our local Miami University (of Ohio) Geography Department and their students use Dell SP5's for fieldwork. Minimum of 13.3 inch screen and upped the RAM from 8 to 16. 512 solid state drives. Also HP Spectre laptops?

Amazon locally (US): https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1#search/dell/FMfcgxwGBmqSsPlftrCRXcrwhzVmFXfg Seems like a very good price. What about touch screens vs 2-in-1 computers? Any preferences for those of you in the field?
