Laptop for graphic design

821 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  dustyjay
Hi
I'm a graphic design student and looking for a new laptop. There are so many out there and I'm not too sure which is the best one to get (not a mac!). I currently have 17.3" Compaq which is old and slow so looking for an upgrade.
I need something that won't lag when doing large drawings and that has the best possible display.
Should i stay with a 17inch or go for a 15? Also i'm not sure of I should get a 2 in 1 for the drawing aspect, but if I do will it work well with Photoshop and other drawing softwares??

Thanks to anyone who can help me out

You probably will want to look into gaming laptops....because of dedicated graphics.

Are there any you would recommend??
And thanks
Not personally... I've nvr used a gaming laptop before . I've always preferred desktops
Most true gaming laptops (Alienware from Dell most specifically) are extremely expensive. Also take into account with Screen Size look at the aspect ratio or the screen. Is you current laptop wide screen (16 by 9) or more square (4 by 3) A convertible laptop may be a good idea if you can find one with a touch screen that also works with a stylus. My daughter had a Dell convertible that she could use a stylus with as well as touch but it was only an 11" screen and I would think with your course of study a larger screen would be preferred.
