[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 822020, member: 50197"] Well, my experience over the last 15 years, including computers for myself, my daughter and my wife, has been Asus, Lenovo and HP. Most have lasted 5 years or more. Only two have actually outright failed. I really can't recommend a brand or model as I'm not really into computers, and tend to go for mid to lower mid end. I'm looking to upgrade RAM, because I only have 16 GB and am having some mildly annoying slowdowns in LR. I talked with a LR guru this week and he recommended 24 to 32 GB. Unfortunately, I will have to replace both sticks of RAM for optimum performance. Fortunately, 32 Gigs is only about $60. I could do it myself, but am nervous about breaking those plastic tabs that hold things together and at $40, I'll let them do it. Some of the higher end machines have more expensive RAM, but not by a bunch. At the price point I've been buying at, all my laptops have had integrated graphics.
