Luckyvok Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Please am about to buy a new laptop for photo editing, in terms of spec what should I look for? Also is it better to go with a laptop and a monitor or a desktop? P.S. Am on a budget and can't afford a MacBook. Thankyou Edited January 25, 2020 by Luckyvok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
