ahh, thanks! i was only aware of “in person sales” for IPS. thank you for the help!

is the $1,500+ budget no bueno even for a laptop for IPS? i spent about $3k on my desktop and love it, totally agree it’s worth it! i just didn’t know if the ‘lower’ end of gaming laptops were okay for IPS and an edit here & there (95% of my work i do on desktop, prob 99% of editing unless the client asks for something specific day of - i will quickly do it for example and redo it on desktop throughly)

@Brian WWYD: budget (ideally $1,500 range but okay with what is needed). i had a tower built that i love and is my workhorse. i do 95% of my tasks on it. i’m needing to invest in a new laptop to go to my studio with me for IPS. i don’t need it to do ‘much’ aside from adobe and basic internet (no video needs). i do have to edit on it sometimes during these IPS sessions, so not just bridge viewing but all adobe would you recommend sticking with pc (alienware?) or would you recommend a mac? would there be any issues going back and forth with adobe in between? i’m very comfortable using both, i just have never had the need to “crossover” back and forth.
