Hi there
Im looking for a photo editing laptop around the $1500-1800 mark and would love yr opinions.
Full SSD out of my price range, but thinking about buying a normal HD and swapping it out when SSDs come down in price a little. Could also swap out the optical drive as well on the below model.
There is last years MSIGE60-20c that still available and cheaper than the specked up GE60-20E ($1899).
Specs for 20c :
* 4th Gen Intel Core 17-4700MQ - 2.4GHz Turbo boost up to 3.4GHz, 6MB cache (but was told they had the one up from this now installed - 4800??)
* NVIDIA GeForce GT750 2GB GDDR5
* 8GB DDR3 RAM / 750GB HDD (7200rpm)
* 15.6" Full HD Anti Glare (1920-1080)
* Windows 8.1
I know its not a GTX, but running at 7200rpm and a GDDR5, hopefully that will make a difference.
I am coming from a dinosaur Compaq Presario with vista, so anything is going to be magical for me.
I'm constantly running into RAM issues while photoshopping !
So at $1599 which I think is the $2013 prices, should I bargain hard, esp as Im a cash buyer ? Maybe ask to get the RAM upgraded to 16GB for that price (was told that wld cost me $100)
