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

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. -

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! -

Ok so I realized after about 15 calibrations that in the menu there is a category called splendid right above colour. In splendid my options are Standard mode, sRGB, scenery, theatre, and then there are two user modes. Any of the other modes only allow for certain changes but the user modes allow for all adjustments to be made. So if I set it for standard mode which seems to be the factory setting, when I go down to the colour category I can't adjust saturation, hue, or the advanced settings. In User modes I can change it all. Prior to figuring this out I was changing the temp presets: 5000k, 5500k, 6500k, 9300k. I tried the warmer priests in native, D55 and D50.

I'm not kidding I probably calibrated 20 different times between 11:30 and 2am systematically going through many of the different possible combinations. Its just so frustrating. If a new computer will resolve my issues I'm ready to go shopping to not have to spend hours calibrating. Prints are from ACI if that makes any difference.
