Hey everyone,
I'm sure there are a lot of you who knows their stuff when it comes to laptops/computers.
I am looking to buy a laptop which is handier than a pc.
As you all know I would need a lot of memory space for all the photos etc.
could anyone recommend me what laptop to go for? I don't want to be spending huge amounts of money.
Any recommendations welcome.
Thanks
Marco
 
Ps if any come with a photoshop or p&p software would be a bonus :)
 
Hi Marco,

Have a look at the Dell outlet, you can pickup a decent one on there. With regards to hd space, do you have an external drive? Also do you back up your photos? It might be worth going for a laptop with a lot of RAM if you use Light room or photo shop and getting a couple of external HDs for backup.

Hi kev,
I don't have an external hd, but I will be getting one to back all my photos up as at the moment my photos are on my girlfriends dads laptop.
If I don't manage to find a laptop with incorporated pp software I shall have to decide between light room and ps. At the moment I'm using ps.
 
I have not seen any that come with either especially PS as that is very expensive.

What is you budget?
 
If you already have ps just install it on the laptop.
 
My gfs dads laptop came with photoshop elements 8 which I found wierd aswell, he couldn't have installed it as he had no idea what it is. So I can't even install it on a new laptop.
 
Does he have the original disc or license for PS Elements if so it can be installed on a second PC.

He doesn't have a disc, I only found it on his laptop randomly, he didn't even know it was on there.
 
Could someone also let me know how much memory space/RAM I should be looking for on a laptop?

Not necessarily, the adobe twin usage licence normally means 1 desktop and 1 laptop wherein they won't be used at the same time.
 
If you are looking for a decent backup external drive you could try a NAS device. I use a Synology DS211.

As for a laptop, i would keep an eye on the Dell outlet - they update their stock each weekday around 14:20 UK time. They have some great 17 inch XPS machines with SSD and plenty of RAM.
