Need to buy a new computer (laptop) as I travel to another State.

Hi Brian, I have spent two hours reviewing your recommendations for the specs that is needed to adequately run PS cc. I need a laptop as I spend days and weeks at another location. I use a monitor when editing at both locations. I will also need a new monitor. I looked at the Dell UltraSharp you listed. My first must have is the laptop. Please help me! I tried looking for a Dell laptop since you were so positive about Dell XPS line. I could not find a laptop that fit all the recommendations. I looked at Asus, Dell, and Lenova. Fortunately, money is not an issue. I want the best that is needed to run Photo Shop without issues.

Buy this and be happy:

Lenovo 16" Legion Pro 7i Gaming Laptop

One thing to note!!! MAKE SURE ALL OF THE LENOVO DRIVERS ARE UP-TO-DATE OTHERWISE PHOTOSHOP WILL COMPLAIN. There is a Lenovo Utility Software package that goes out and finds the drivers for you. Also, make sure Windows is up-to-date as well, and I'd do this before installing Photoshop.

Thank you !!!!
