Question

NEED: Windows based laptop that can handle large print files (700mb & up at 600dpi) as well as 3D rendering. It needs to be Windows based to avoid purchasing Mac versions of software I already have for Windows. Any suggestions?

Slimline laptops are not the answer when it comes to available space, memory, and processing speed when it comes to maintaining Windows and Microsoft software updates. It looks like I need the ability to fly a small space ship if I am going to smoothly manage graphics jobs AND MS Office work.

    For what it’s worth a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft Office 365 is cross platform, so you can work with Windows or macOS and even switch back and forth.

    For Windows or Mac, take a look at B&H Photo’s “Expert Picks”:
