Can you offer me a sanity check on the laptop I am considering.
Questions:
Am I making a wise decision based on my needs?
Is there a better alternative you would recommend?
Software/Demands:
I currently own Adobe CS5 and will very likely switch to Adobe Creative Cloud in the next 12 months.
Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects. I also use Lightwave.
Hardware Lag: I use a Wacom tablet to digitally paint 300dpi 3000 x 5000 pixel images in Photoshop, so I would like to continue to do this yet without the lag problems I'm currently facing on my Dell Precision M4600.
Budget: $500
Candidate Laptop:
Thank you. -Mike
