- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I am looking to get a laptop to use for lightroom CC, PS CC and basic video editing. I have been thinking I need a quad core chip with around 8mb of RAM or greater. I have read reviews that the intel I7 on a slim laptop is only dual core with HYPER-THREADING. I have also read that the multiple cores is only useful for multi tasking, down loading data, surfing the web... each core can do a separate process. SO if i only do one process like photo shop, do I need a I7 chip or AMD A10 quad core?? would a cheaper I5 dual core work just as well?? Am I mis-informed about the chip design??
I rather save the $$$ and get a 27" monitor with the savings.
thanks for the help
