My current laptop is not very good with running Photoshop so I was looking into getting a better laptop and these two were the ones I thought might be great for it.

Both of these laptops are within my price range, I am just not sure how to tell which one will have ultimately better specs for running Photoshop.

I know they both have a chance since my current GPU is 2.0 GHz and my current system memory RAM is 4GB.

I was thinking Acer Aspire Touchscreen Notebook R5/571TG57YD 15.6" / 8GB RAM / 256GB HDD - Steel Gray​ would be the better computer to run it, but HP HPPV15CC510R 15.6" Touch Screen Laptop / 8GB RAM / 1TB Hard Drive seems like it might do just as well... Thank you in advance for any insight on which may run it better.

Edit:  I was also thinking Dell Inspiron I5565A973GRY Touchscreen Notebook 15.6" / 12GB RAM / 1TB HDD / AMD A12-9700P Quad-Core... since it has 12GB of System Memory RAM.

More RAM is better for photoshop, but being said, it really depends on what you're using it for.

Personally, i have a 980 GTX and have 8gb of RAM and for photo editing and drawing with my wacom it runs perfectly,

The dell would future proof your PC for longer though!

Hi Éclair,

I would suggest going with a system which gives you more system memory and a good Graphics processor, you can also have a look at this article and check the system requirements for Photoshop before making up your mind: Photoshop system requirements

Like Sahil said, get as much RAM as you can afford; Photoshop loves RAM. Go for the Dell.
