Re: Need recomendation for a computer to program vm16
OK, that kinda changes the question. Fusion 360 is a full featured, professional CAD/CAM program that runs on Win7 or Win10. A bit of a learning curve, but it's free to hobbyists, students, and small businesses making under 100K/year.
A laptop would be fine, but get one with a decent graphic card, and a large screen for CAD/CAM work. We'll worry about how the get the programs from the laptop to the machine later, there are USB floppy eliminators and other hardware available.
