Question

Best laptop for Interior Design?

Jun 23, 2016 4:29AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm starting a Uni course in Interior Design this September and I need a new laptop.

We've been told that it must be a windows laptop, and be able to run Photoshop, AutoCAD, Sketchup, InDesign (sometimes more than 1 program running at once).

My preference is nothing other 16" and my budget is anything under £2,000.

Many thanks!

Suggestion: check the recommended system requirements for those 4 programs. Then buy a laptop that at least has those. I don't think you need to pay more than £ 750.
