I'm planning on purchasing a new laptop.
My only heavy use is Lightroom Classic. I seldom use Photoshop. I never game. The rest is online stuff and MS Outlook.
I currently have a Dell Inspiron 14 Plus with 16GB DDR5, 1x 8GB onboard + 1x SoDIMM 8GB, 4800MHz, an Intl i7-12700H (2.30 GHz) processor; a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, and 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive.
I am upgrading to take advantage of advancements in components. I don't want to spend more than $1,200 and ideally less.
Since most laptop makers offer specific choices, what I'm looking for is specific advice on what I should go for in order to improve/speed up LR Classic (perhaps the best graphics card) and areas where I don't need to get the best (I've heard that 16GB of RAM is sufficient for LR.
Thanks in advance!
