  1. I'm sorry. I wasn't clear. I already bought a laptop in July. I am looking to buy an external monitor and calibrator for it. I was wondering if those two items were doable for $500 or less. If so, what should I buy? I bought a Dell Inspiron laptop but I know laptops aren't ideal for editing.
  2. Hi. Thank you in advance. I am the least technologically savvy person around. Brian you helped me about 10 years ago and I am afraid it's time to upgrade. I can't get my 10 year old ASUS laptop (which I love) to update to Windows 10. I have a new Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop. I would like to buy an external monitor and a calibrator. I would also like to stay under $500. Is that doable? If so, recommendations? Also, there use to be a place to buy you a beer or a coffee for your time...does that still exist? Please share the link. THANK YOU!!!
  3. Thank you. I really appreciate your help because I am clueless. So...if I went for the $1249 laptop should I still upgrade the RAM to 32gb? Is that something that I would/could do myself. I know you helped me with this years ago with my current laptop. Do I still need to do the D drive custom install? That sounds scary and like something I could mess up lol! Is that something I should have the Geek Squad folks at Best Buy do? What calibrator works best for this laptop? I am in a local photography group and they ALL use Macs/Macbooks and were giving me a hard time about not going that route. In your honest opinion...is that the route I should be going? I have no desire to change over but I want to make the right purchase as money is tight for my photography business.
  4. Hi Brian, Thank you for all of the help you provide here! I am in the market for a new laptop. I know laptops are NOT ideal for editing, but I need the portability. I plan to only edit photos on the laptop (using Photoshop CC). I looked through lots of threads here and I see you recommend the ASUS ROG line of laptops. I clicked a couple of links but the laptops were no longer available. Is there a current ROG laptop you are recommending these days. My budget is $1200-1500. Of course I would love to stay on the lower end of that if possible and I would also like to buy my calibrator within that budget. Is that realistic? Thanks!
