Looking to get a laptop as a backup to my main PC & wondering about specs for running Lightroom & Photoshop. It was easy with my PC as I was able to over spec - I7 5930K, 64GB RAM & GTX980Ti but for a laptop obviously things are different. I only want to be able to edit single RAW files, no batch processing...
I rather like the idea of a smallish (13") model & was looking at something like an HP Envy like this: http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Pr...3&opt=&sel=NTB
It has an I7 7500U processor, 8GB RAM, SSD & a modest GeForce MX150 card (2GB) which I'd have though should be more than ample but a review on Amazon suggested that after 20 minutes Photoshop work it slowed to an almost stop due to CPU throttling (I guess the smaller laptops do get hotter).
Any thoughts folks? Ideally not much more than £1000 & not a Mac. Would I be better with a regular size screen ??
Cheers
