New Laptop

[SamanthaW]

Hi Brian, 

I need to purchase a new laptop, I am wondering if the below specs meet the requirements for 2026 and the high demand from photoshop?

 

Legion Pro 5i Gen 10 Intel (16") with RTX 5060\

Memory : 32 GB DDR5-5600MT/s (SODIMM)

Solid State Drive: 1 TB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC

Processor: 14th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX Processor (E-cores up to 4.10 GHz P-cores up to 5.80 GHz)

Display: 16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, HDR 400, 100%DCI-P3, 500 nits, 240Hz, Low Blue Light

Graphics Card: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR7

Sorry for the wonky way that information posted! I am in Canada, so trying to find laptops that aren't over $4000 is very hard! 

Thank you! 

Samantha

Yes it is! Especially in Canada. 

While I like for the video cards to be at least a RTX 5070, in a Laptop configuration and the current prices of things, I'd say the rest of the specs work out. I would, however...use the NVIDIA Studio Drivers instead of the default General Computing / Gaming Drivers. The Studio Drivers (Drivers is software that tells hardware how to work,) are meant for Adobe's products, like Photoshop. 

Enjoy your purchase.
