I just bought a new laptop and I need help making sure it is going to work. I did weeks of research trying to find one I could afford. I decided on a lap top with an external monitor becuase I need to be somewhat portable plus I could not find a desktop that had the right Intel core in it I could only find AMD and was told Intel was they way to go. I ended up with a HP envy 16 inch with intel i7 13th gen and 16gb ram with 1tb ssd and a gtx 4060 graphics 8gb. will this work? I mainly do edits in lightroom and then some composits in Photoshop. Thanks

That should work just fine considering overall cpu power, memory, etc. For storage, if you are working with large files or have a large lightroom library you may want to consider an external drive to expand beyond 1tb, but it's not required.

That should work.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
