Thank you!

Hi Brian, last time you told me to buy a particular laptop I did and loved it and it’s still kicking but it’s full and old. I was looking online based on other posts here and I’m wondering what you think of these https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_4419_4429&item_id=215400&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1ZGcBhCoARIsAGQ0kkrTfhA4rPoTVQBPPfb6S8uLsK7Rq-J_H6iLBLctdrMZ8XnmwggsGbYaAumhEALw_wcB https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-rog-strix-scar-17-3-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-12700h-1tb-ssd-16gb-ram-rtx-nbsp-3060-windows-11/16373306?cmp=seo-16373306&cmp=knc-s-71700000055465140&gbraid=0AAAAAD-7qGygk1LX3zoor-CQJn6ZZdiB4&gbraid=0AAAAAD-7qGygk1LX3zoor-CQJn6ZZdiB4&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1ZGcBhCoARIsAGQ0kkrEGLzbBhB83cb64zIUwvj7rsKhgB-rsBske_JuY6OZC3d_03EIMdkaAp9iEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-rog-strix-scar-17-3-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i9-12900h-1tb-ssd-16gb-ram-rtx-3070-ti-windows-11/15992594?cmp=seo-15992594&cmp=knc-s-71700000055465140&gbraid=0AAAAAD-7qGygk1LX3zoor-CQJn6ZZdiB4&gbraid=0AAAAAD-7qGygk1LX3zoor-CQJn6ZZdiB4&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1ZGcBhCoARIsAGQ0kkpEwym-oKWZqz33IJ2cVTg_DvyQ22ANDh7do867cDo95LVkc9_0NWUaAiKsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Just a sec while I pick myself up off the floor lol. Thank you for all your assistance, I will try to wait it out.

Well, maybe I’ll hold out for 2022 then if I can

Thank you. And will my child be able to game on this as well?

Ok I found myself on the dell website today, how did I do? https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/desktops/xps-special-edition-desktop/spd/xps-8940-desktop/dxps8940se_s74e?configurationid=a2c80cc2-f5bf-46d6-bb63-eaa545ebd16e or: https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/desktops/xps-special-edition-desktop/spd/xps-8940-desktop/dxps8940se_s73e?configurationid=929260e9-e076-4f5e-ad02-20150a1afce8 I’m not really sure what the difference is could you please make sure I haven’t selected anything dumb? Thank you!

Yay! Thanks for all your help!!!

I FINALLY bought something please tell me there are no red flags here.... They're adding a 500GB SSD. I decided to go with a laptop for the portability. I have my 24" ProArt monitor to edit with as well and one day I will purchase a desktop but of now, hopefully this will be sufficient. ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH71 Gaming Notebook - 15.6" IPS FHD (1920x1080) Intel Core i7-6700HQ(2.60GHz) 16GB DDR4, 1TB HDD - NVIDIA GTX960M 2GB GDDR5 DL DVD-RW BT4.0 Win10

I know, it's insane. The WD 4T hard drive would be another $250.

This was my other option and I could add a 4t hd

I had no idea the ssd was my c: drive lol. They figured I could run photoshop on the ssd but save everything to the HD. There was an i7 next to this one and I knew I should've taken a pic of the specs for comparison. It was about $400 more but it didn't have the 1TB HD (and that's about all I know ?) I will see what they can do tomorrow. Thanks for all your wisdom!

$1500 Canadian (including the tax)

How's this?

Well that may have worked. I'll need to try later tonight when it's darker so I can turn the lights out but I *feel* like I may have gotten closer.

Ok I'm trying d65 at a colour temp of 6500k as a *new* starting point
