A:Answer Hi there...well any decent laptop would do you well, with the Cricut Air 2, as long as it has Bluetooth capability on board, this is how your computer communicates (connects to) your Cricut,,, You need to "Pair it" your laptop with your Cricut, google up "bluetooth pairing", alternately you can just connect your Cricut with your laptop with a usb cable, yay! I would also say this: that using a laptop with Windows 7, or 8.1 would prob. be easier, as it is more "user friendly"...Have fun, Brian is Bee2the3rd, in Santa Monica~^~
