Whats the best laptop for entering competitions? are chrome books any good?

Can anyone recommend a good/ the best laptops for entering competitions?
Ideally id like to be able to enter some comps in the evenings with the tv on the background so I wont be at a desk.
I think a laptop with a scroll wheel might make it a little easier as i am used to scrolling with my mouse and might miss that feature.
Should i even splash out on a apple laptop?
All suggestions welcome
Thanks
Has anyone any experience of using a chrome book for entering comps and are they any good?

I use a laptop but use it with a mouse, I just couldn't get on without one. Mine's a Toshiba and I'm very happy with it.

I use a laptop and watch TV, Its a bit too big as it has a separate number pad. An essential accessory to get is some sort of laptop tray to stop your legs overheating.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you get a Windows or Mac laptop as you're mostly entering comps through the Internet.

The main things to look for are a good keyboard and screen so you can comp more comfortably. Don't skimp and go for a cheaper model as you may regret it later.

Generally with Macs, they are built to a high standard so you can't really go wrong. However, they will take a little bit of time to get used to as some of the shortcuts are different and you'll still try to use it like a Windows computer when you first get it.

I enter from my Laptop.
I just have a tray so I am comfortable.

I must admit it is a large laptop with a separate number pad which at times can feel a little big especially if i want to connect the mouse so don't have much room then.
So maybe a standard size laptop would be better with a separate mouse

A Chromebook would be fine
