Hi,
I'm a graphic designer and I'm looking for a new laptop (not a Mac though). I often have several programs open at once including InDesign, Photoshop, Word, Firefox and Illustrator. So I want it to be the computer in general, as well as the graphics display, to be fast.
I found this computer on sale on TigerDirect for $1150 down from $1900. I understand that it's a good laptop with a great graphics card and CPU. I'm just wondering if it's too much for what I need. It's a little pricier compared to what I had in mind, but I can afford it. But if all the extra everything isn't necessary for what I'm doing then I'd get something cheaper.
I'm looking for:
- a good dedicated graphics card
- high CPU - maybe 4 processors
- 4GB or more Memory
thank you!!
