Hi all,
Im helping my sister buy laptop for graphic design. She will be using photoshop for the majority of the time.
This is what I have found to be the best deal so far... do you have any opinions? I also have a couple questions below. thank you very much.
Lenovo R500
15.4" WSXGA+ TFT
Intel T9400 2.53Ghz 6MBL2
Intel GMA x4500
2GB PC3 8500 DDR3 (might upgrade to 2dimm 4gb later)
250GB HDD 5400rpm
9cell battery
vista home premium
$1182
1. could upgrade to a T500 for about $100 more, same specs, except we could get 15.4" WXGA+ TFT LED. .....Is the LED better? even though its only WXGA+? (not wsxga+) keep in mind she wants this for graphic design.
2. keeping in mind that the minimum sys req for adobe CS4 is 2ghz processor is the T9400 overkill? or just right???
3. my sister cant afford 4gb ddr3 8500 ram right now.
would she be better off going with 2gb ddr3 8500? OR 4gb ddr2 5300?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated! thank you very much.
