Question

Windows Laptop for PS under $2K

Hello, all.

I'm just starting researching laptops to ultimately replace my aging Windows desktop, which is gagging a bit on the newest version of PS (not sure what they did, but it's slowed things down). I'm thinking a Windows laptop to replace my desktop might be a bit more flexible, but it also needs to have some oomph.

 

Mainly I'm looking for brand suggestions, as I know I need at least 32 GB RAM, a fast multi-core CPU, decent GPU, and at least 1 TB SSD. Those are my general specs. I'd like to go with a 15", in case I want to transport it - I wouldn't often edit directly on the laptop, but would connect it to my big desktop monitor, mouse, external drives, etc.

 

So what brands and models have you all had good luck with? Again, it would be a Windows laptop.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would look at not only the minimum system requirements but also the graphics card requirements.

My only advice is to not skimp out on processors, RAM and graphics card.
