Thanks, I will take the time to look at these, got to go and do a haircut now

We have Norton I think. I thought it would be better to get a fresh machine purely for photos and away from kids, one of the buttons has already been torn off and we don't use the e mail attached to the account as it has thousands of junk mail in it. I use a seperate e mail from my phone

when my I pad is full I put all the photos in the laptop. When I tried to use it for more than this I let a virus in which locked me out and Microsoft had to unlock it for $200. So I stick with the I pad. 

Thanks Damien and Brian, I like the idea of a holiday that's for sure. So Damien can you advise on a p.c. One that you can help me use?

Thanks for all the feedback. It's a big decision. After reading posts on this site I'm worried I will just be too thick to use a computer at all! I can just about navigate Facebook and send an e mail

I have $5000. I will also need to buy the photoshop thing plus Damien's classes, plus the calibrater thing. What if I buy all this stuff and dont understand how to use it? Forgive me, I'm a hairdresser so technicalities are not my strong point.

all I know is that editing and storing photos on my I pad cannot continue!

any help an advice is greatly apreciated

Thanks for the reply Christina, it's all a bit of a minefield for me.I thought a Mac would be better for me as the interface would be familiar as I'm using my I pad only at the moment.

Thank you Brian,but for that price I would want to pass it on to my grandchildren, 5-7,years? Does it then need replacing? 

What about a laptop, do they have the same power as a pc? I like the idea of portable editing, thanks for your time

Hello, this is a question for Brian- was referred to you by Damien Symonds. 

I currently edit my raw photos on my I pad using photoshop express. I need to take the next step and get set up to take Damien's classes. Please can you advise what I should buy. Thanks Kerry
