Hi all,
I’m a pro photographer and travel often, and regularly in remote countries of Asia. I need a laptop that is both conveniently small and capable of providing:
– good graphics processing capability for PS7 (soon CS) – edit 6 Mpixel image files,
– good battery life,
– DVD burner (may have to be USB 2 but was hoping for internal – ie. battery powered. Nice to have battery DVD burning but not essential).
The Sony Vaio range sounds interesting but here in Australia, noone can give me even a subjective answer to the question regarding graphics capability. I contacted IBM about their smaller range and they gave an honest answer regards graphics – not very good.
I think I don’t want shared video RAM but if I have 1 Gb RAM will that give reasonable performance?
Friends are trying to convert me to Mac but for now I require a PC. Ideally a 12" will be great but could consider a 14". At this stage not massively concerned about budget.
Any brand/model recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave E
