  1. Hi! Thanks in advance for your help. I have read Buying a Computer in 2021 and have read your specs for buying a laptop (even though not recommended). I have a calibrated monitor up in my office, but do need to cull/import/occasionally edit away from my desk/house so I do need a laptop but I will use it mostly with a calibrated screen. My problem is, I can't for the life of me find a laptop that meets all of your specs. Closest (I think) that I have come is this one and I can't tell if it has a dedicated video card or not. It does have an IPS screen., i7 processor, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB HD. But I see nothing stating dedicated video card. Is it the NVIDIA G-Sync? It isn't even available yet, but I can't seem to find anything that lists all of the required specs available either now or in a few months. Would love some help pointing me in the right direction!! (I have searched all of Dell's laptops on their site - none list IPS; HP has 1 IPS and it doesn't meet the other specs; B&H had a bunch but i have read terrible reviews about MSI brand; and Amazon seems like a cluster for accurate descriptions). Please help! *Edited to add: I am not limiting any searches by price and still having trouble. Budget is not my primary concern. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/thinkpad-t15p-gen-2-(15-inch-intel)/21a7002dus?cid=us:sem|se|google|ca+shopping+brand+lv+intel|gs_notebooks||21A7002DUS|1341711240|52533783823|aud-905729537482:pla-432104461645|shopping|brand&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtMCKBhDAARIsAG-2Eu8peiujyftfsRtFn9H612WSo_nBO-1thtDmIZ09dN98dAkCWoYFi5caAvyoEALw_wcB
  2. This is so helpful, thank you Brian!! And yes, I should have mentioned that I do know your stance on laptops and editing -- it certainly won't be my primary editing station, but I travel a lot and need something that can run Bridge/PS for some batch editing before getting home to my desktop workstation. So again, super helpful and I appreciate the feedback!! Thank you!!
  3. Hi Brian, I think I've read all of your laptop spec recommendations here, but I'm having trouble pulling the trigger and hoping you can help. And I apologize in advance, I have not been in the market for a computer in the past 6 years and haven't bought a laptop in over a decade so my market knowledge is looong out-dated. I see Asus recommended a lot here, but to be honest the online reviews I've read (and 1 personal friend review) have not been positive about the brand overall. Is Asus generally the cost-effective way to get all the specs you recommend within some of the budgets posted here ($1k-1500)? I've had HPs for the last decade and have always been happy, but I've never seen that come up as a recommendation here or on other photography sites. I'd love to stick with HP due to positive experience and familiarity/learning curve, but if that's not a smart move these days I will happily try something news. Any thoughts on the HP ZBooks? http://store.hp.com/us/en/SearchDisplay?client=&searchTerm=zbook&search=&charset=utf-8&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&beginIndex=0&pageSize=50 My budget is ideally under $2k, but I could go up to $2500 if it's something that will last me for years and has minimal risk of needing repairs. Also worth noting, I'm not ready to switch to Mac. Thanks for your help! Liz
