My computer is 5 years old now and is slowing (Gateway P3 500Mhz with 640Mb RAM)….. Additionally for other reasons I would prefer to use a laptop. (I have PS7 and Wacom Graphire tablet).
I’m aware of the problems vis colour management but this is only a hobby (I take about 20 pics per day average) and I’m prepared (I think) to put up with some minor differences in colour reproduction on screen and some tweaking of the printer.
So, having done some research it would seem I should look for something, say, P4 2.6Ghz + or Centrino. A graphics card 64Mb +. Say 512Mb RAM min. and 15inch screen SXGA or UXGA 1600 by 1200 Min?? (I confess I’m not too clear on this last item).
I’ve looked at the Dell 8600 or 5150 which seems to fit the bill. I would appreciate the Group’s views on my conclusions and any advice you may care to give.
Many thanks in advance.
