Hey all, I am actually starting to get sick of how slow my laptop is going when working with RAW files in lightroom, photoshop, and the like. I am debating on selling my current laptop and getting another thats obviously geared toward photography as thats what I mainly use my laptop for along with web design which is related.
I currently have a Dell XPS M1530 with the following specs:
15" LED screen
2.5Ghz core 2 duo
4GB DDR2 RAM
500GB 5400rpm HDD
Geforce 8400M 128MB
Vista 64-bit
external monitor is Dell 2709W.
Other specs arent really too important. I would like to stick with Dell as they have been very good to me over the years and its pretty easy to find some nice discounts/coupons there.
I have seen the new Studio XPS 16 that has a wide gamut screen which is pretty nice, so definitely an option.
For those that have laptop/notebooks what are your specs and what would be something you would recommend or would you not recommend anything at all?
EDIT: Oh yeah price isnt really much of an object, but I would like to to stay around $800-1200 after discounts/coupons.
