Zoeytoja Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi, my HP laptop just crashed. What should I look for when buying a new one? I think Memory at least 6GB, preferably a laptop but I really want something that can last... So desktop might be the solution, Under $1000. Is there any resource you can refer me to?

Samantha LaRue Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 You'll probably want something with at least 16gb of memory. Brian should be along shortly with a more specific recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 If you are looking for a laptop, I'd use this one for photo editing:Asus 15.6" Laptop If you look on the main page, you'll see the 4 things to look for. 8GB RAM Minimum / 16GB Preferred 1TB HD at a Minimum A separate Graphics Processor with its own dedicated Video RAM IPS Based Screen The CPU chip isn't a huge consideration these days, unless you are doing lots and lots of batching with a bunch of open photos, or are editing video. Today's i5 CPUs or equivalent work just fine. You also have been working on a slow laptop for so long, you have no idea just how small 4GB is these days, let alone 6GB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
