I am looking for a new work laptop that can be used for Adobe Photoshop CS6, InDesign and Illustrator for designing print materials and logos.
In terms of budget, something under $2000 would be preferred, but the most important consideration is being able to work with large files without having the laptop slow down at all.
Approximate Purchase Date:
Within one week
Budget Range:
<$2500 with OS
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Photoshop CS6, InDesign, Illustrator (I'm doing website design, print materials and logos, so I need something that can handle large, multi-layer files during rendering)
Are you buying a monitor:
No
Do you need to buy OS:
Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Ordering through Dell
Location:
Vancouver, Canada
Parts Preferences:
Intel, preferably.
Overclocking:
No.
SLI:
No.
Specs:
(Based off of the Dell Latitude E6520 model)
PROCESSOR: 3rd gen Intel Core i5-2540M Processor 2.6 GHz
OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
MEMORY: 8 GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM
HARD DRIVE: 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drive
GRAPHICS CARD: nVidia NVS 4200M 512MB DDR3
OPTICAL DRIVE: 8X DVD+/-RW
LCD DISPLAY: 15.6" HD (1366x768) Anti-Glare LED-backlit
WIRELESS CARDS: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 802.11n Half Mini Card
Total: Approximately $1800
Is the Nvidia 4200M needed to use Photoshop well?
