I want to get a second device to use at a non-profit where I volunteer. We have a Canon iPF 670 large format roll-feed printer. I want to print posters from Illustrator CC. What is the most minimum Apple or PC hardware required? I may be doing minimal tweaking of AI files, but mostly just printing. I'll upload the files from an iMac. I'm looking at Dell Inspiron 3000 or 5000 series laptop:

  • 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-7200U Processor
  • Windows 10 Home 64-bit English
  • 8GB, 2400MHz, DDR4; up to 16GB
  • 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive

OR MacBook:

  • 1.2GHz dual-core 7th-generation Intel Core m3 processor
  • Turbo Boost up to 3.0GHz
  • 8GB 1866MHz LPDDR3 memory
  • 256GB SSD storage1
  • Intel HD Graphics 615

OR MacBook Air:

  • 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor
  • Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz
  • 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 memory
  • 128GB SSD storage1
  • Intel HD Graphics 6000

Suggestions?  Thanks so much.
