Question

Laptop for Uni, Music, PhotoShop

Oct 8, 2015 11:33AM PDT

Hey guys!

I need a new laptop mainly for the following:

- University (good keyboard, portable, Microsoft Office)
- Music production (if Mac e.g. LogicPro)
- PhotoShop (for photos and graphics)
- Video Editing (not that important though)

That's pretty much it. I'll also be working quite a lot with WordPress (if that matters).

Budget: not defined but: cheaper --> better. Less than 1000€ would be nice but above is also okay.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Well with laptops

you get what you pay for. So almost always a $ 1000 laptop will out perform a $500 one. But I suggest you get one with either a AMD or Nvidia discrete graphics card.
