- Photos NOT OK to edit
I'm conisdering buying a laptop to better accompany me on travels/ photo editing on the road. As i'm aware most laptops with enough ram (4gb+) and a dedicated GPU should be more than sufficient, and that a good screen on the laptop is important.
The key although is i'm looking for a good laptop to accompany me in my camera bag that is small and rugged enough to handle being outdoors all day/ going travelling and being handleable at all times. Since computer tech moves so fast, i cannot justify spending alot of money on a laptop. I want to keep my upper budget to 1000 dollars. The lower the more sensible it seems. Further i have a hard time justifying costs of a MB/MBP. They seem pretty overpriced for what you get. The retina display seems to be what could sell it to me although.
Any specific advice I should go for? Last time i had a laptop, my biggest key worry was the overheating when running applications such as lightroom for importing (lets assume i'll be using 24mp files, i have an external hard drive which i could carry around), aswell as photoshop.
