What do you think?

Brian I'm just wondering what you think of this laptop https://a.co/d/5yLSCdE

I was going to go with the Lenovo Legion 7ipro that you recommended then I saw that this has the newer AI chip and didn't know if that makes a difference with Photoshop.

It's "fine" or more along the lines of "Meh." The 4090 is complete overkill and is a waste of money for Photoshop, since it won't take advantage of what makes a 4090 so fast. (It's not programmed to.) Plus the LED Rainbow Keyboard, I'm not a fan. You are editing photos, and the color casts from that keyboard would drive me nuts. The Display, is a Matte Screen, which is nice, but I don't think it's truly a IPS-Based Display, which is one of my requirements for using a laptop to edit photos.

This is a "Gaming Laptop" meant for FPS Games, and not the direction I would have you head in. For me, it's a pass. Save your money.

The AI Stuff is a new thing, and as the years go on, will be more important. For now, Adobe is just starting to scratch the surface with it.

Thank you! I had a feeling that would be the gist of your answer but my husband wanted me to confirm before an under/over investment.

Oh, I get why your husband noticed that model. On the surface, it seems "better," but in reality, you are wasting money. It's almost like trying to buy a Hummer when a simple 4-wheel drive vehicle will do; sure both can go off-roading, but that Hummer only gets 5 miles per gallon and is completely unnecessary for the simple off-roading that you might do, or drive through that snow storm. The right tool for the job.
