Any laptop with an I5 or I7 chip and a moderately high-density lcd will work fine . . . but what's key for me is having a big solid-state drive behind it all. I use Photoshop CS6 over a 500 gigabyte SSD. It was a cinch to replace my 500 gigabyte HD, and what a difference! When the drive fills up, just offload your photos on a fast USB3 flashdrive. Cheap and simple. Go for it!
I travel a lot and when I travel my camera comes along. I would like to edit my photos as I go but my laptop, designed by and manufactured by Molasses Inc., is soooo slow I cannot get much done. I see lots of ads for fastest laptops for playing games but I haven't found any that say fast for photographers. Screen size is not critical because I can generally find a desktop screen I can plug into. I am a Windows person and use Lightroom, Elements, ON1, ColorFX and Smart Photo Editor. As an avid photo editor, what laptop specs should I be looking out for to ensure that my photo editing is fun and fast, and not a drag? I've found CNET so helpful in many ways, I'm hoping your readers have suggestions. Thanks.
