What type of laptop is the best one to buy for graphic design? |
[Edit] |
If you're going to study graphic design, I'd recommend a Macbook Pro, they are quite expensive but the best for graphic design.
If you don't have that kind of cash, an HP notebook is a good option. You will want to make sure you have one with lots of memory (RAM), has a fast processor, a decent size hard drive, and a big screen. I would recommend at least 2GB RAM, for better use switching between software as you will often be working with two or three programs at a time. At least 2 GHz, or equal processor, for faster use and better for when you have to do a lot of video editing also - it doesn't matter if it is Intel or AMD. At least a 17" display for more view space. Probably around 200 GB hard drive space, but it doesn't really matter because you could always get a pocket drive if you need more room. Also, I would recommend a decent graphics card other than the one that is built into the motherboard; this will make a lot of your tasks appear better and software to work better. You will probably have to burn a lot of your projects to either CD or DVD, so a combination CD/DVD writer would be good. This might cost you around $1,000 with taxes, unless the one you buy has even better specs. Most universities don't require a specific laptop, but they will require use of specific software - such as Adobe Creative Suite.
