Hi, I am looking for the best windows laptop (around $1500)to work with and edit large image files in photoshop CS5 (my D800 producesfiles about 60 megs each). It could have a 15.6" screen but 17" wouldbe better. Dell is trying to sell me anXPS Laptop L702x Intel® Core™ i7-2760M but I am not too keen on Dell'sreputation and this computer does not have a graphics card that supports OpenGL. Having said that I am not too surehow important Open GL is but I know that it does enable photoshop to do somekinds of processing quicker. Such a graphics card may well not be too importantand/or come at a price well outside of my budget.
I have been told at least 8 megs of ram is very important asis having 3 disks. One smallish one for programmes, one large one for data andone small but fast SSD that would be great as a photoshop scratch disk. Two ofthese disks could be internal and one external. Can you have an external SSDdisk that functions at full speed?
The next problem I will have is that I am living in Franceand need an English keyboard but I'll face that hurdle once I have the computerI am looking for.
Any help you could give me on this would be very gratefullyaccepted.
