Need Laptop Sug for Graphic Artist
- Country
USA
- Budget
$700-$1100 with some wiggle room
- Are you open to refurbs/used options?
Maybe (Prefer No)
- Screen size
I don't know standard, but something large enough for 2d/3d graphic, nothing too tiny
- Weight limit
None
- Purpose
Graphic Artist (things like Adobe, Blender and other 3d modeling programs, etc)
- Form factor
Standard / Possibly touch-screen if available in price range without losing smoothness/ability to work well
- Intended usage
Using it for Graphic Artist stuff mostly (Adobe programs, 3d Modeling, 2d animation, other light 2d programs) and general use. If any gaming it will be light (things like minecraft or the like, not 4k high fps gaming or anything).
- Desired battery life
Nothing specific
- Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life
Performance (for said modeling/artist programs), Size (nothing specific but a larger screen would be more important than the others), Battery Life, Weight (unimportant)
- Info/Requirements
User knows the graphic design programs she will use, but isn't incredibly computer savvy, so nothing that stretches that (i.e. nothing that can run fine if you pop a linux distro on it, do some modding, etc - should be fine to run as is with windows)
Thanks in advance for advice! This will likely be purchased in June so I suppose no immediate deals will matter (though I could jump on one if it is extremely wild and get the payment from her later). But I have 0 clue on laptops, brands, models, etc of today nor what really is required of a graphics design one vs one for raw gaming (I always have custom built my own desktops) so any help is much appreciated!
