[QUOTE="clairmatin, post: 603902, member: 43086"] Asus is a good brand, their electronics are solid and their PCs and laptops are well built. Their Zenbook range is well reviewed. Lenovo is also a good brand. I'd say an Intel Core i5 is probably enough cpu. Don't go lower, but if you have room in your budget, splash out with the i7. Note that the laptop versions of these CPUs are slower than the desktop PC versions with the same name. Confusing. Do you want it light so you can carry it on vacation, for example? The superlight ones are cool but more expensive. To run Photoshop you need plenty of memory. 8GB is probably plenty. Some of them have a Solid State Drive option. This significantly speeds up your work, but the ones you get in laptops are usually only 128GB, whereas the HD option in the same device is usually 512GB or more. So if you choose SSD you may want to get an external USB HD at some later time. Some laptops can support an internal second drive, but not the slimline ones. [/QUOTE]
