My 11.6 inch HP laptop of 2011 just doesn't cut it anymore practically in any area of digital life. And it's not really a laptop, it's a "netbook". It has an AMD-350 processor which was really good for me back then (wasn't playing any games anymore, just browsing the internet and checking my email).
So long story short, i'm looking into buying new laptop and this time I want it to be able to run Adobe Lightroom and to handle 16mpix files flawlessly. But here's a thing, it's got to be roughly under $600. And i'm not really asking for an exact brands/models but what hardware features I may compromise in favor of price and still get a good photo editing machine. I'm not looking for a gaming laptop. Is there any need for a discrete graphics card? Is there need for SSD drive?
And yeah, I have a very good "23 HDMI monitor with IPS so I think I don't need a really great laptop display.
