What did you buy? Is it a quad core? Paul
I think I'll disagree that you can't edit as well on a laptop since you can buy one that has the exact same processing power as a Desk but on average, that desk will be the cheaper option and it can be upgraded easier. There's only that much to upgrade in a laptop.
But for the rest, you can plug as many screens, drives and tools into your laptop as into any desktop.
IF I had to use a laptop for my editing, in spite of hating their business model, I have never seen a laptop screen as good as Mac laptop screens and would be my only choice (and pay three times the price of an equivalent laptop) if the laptop was going to be my ONLY option.
Depends on what you mean by "photo editing" and how patient a person you are. Would I want to run Adobe Photoshop and process D810 RAW files on that machine? In a word, no. The CPU is fine for spreadsheets and emails but little more than that. And "integrated graphics" means a basic (typically underpowered) onboard chipset will be doing the graphics processing by stealing precious CPU cycles from your processor as well as system memory (RAM) to get s--t done. Pretty much everything you DON'T want going on right there.I hope you computer experts can help me out. I'm looking at the following computer . Do you think it will be fast enough for photo editing?
