Graphic Design Laptop
Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2009 5:17 pm
Hey everyone. So, I'm in my third quarter of school going for my degree in graphic design and would really like to get an excellent laptop for when I get out of school to help further my career. I have a $1200 dollar limit and wanna get the best for my buck. Here's what I have so far.
Going with a Dell, prefer PC over Mac despite the heavy influence in the field. I've learned on both in case it comes up, but for my personal setup, PC is ideal. Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 Ghz processor, 4GB RAM, 320 GB memory, 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS video card, and a custom skin design. This is what I have chosen so far, but for those of you who are graphic artists professionally or maybe delve into it for a hobby, is there anything I'm missing or should fix out of my current stats? I want a good system that can stand to have multiple programs open simultaneously. I use Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, Flash, and plan on using 3dsmax in the near future as well. Also, really enjoy video editing using Sony Vegas. Any sort of info you have for me would be appreciated. Thanks.
