Advice on getting a laptop

YcotoSpurs · Jul 27, 2015

My sister wants to buy a laptop for extensive graphic use, as well as all the usual stuff. She has her heart set on one of the macbook laptops, and her budget is £1000. What would be the best one for her to get in this price range? Thanks in advance

what sort of extensive graphics uses?

MacBooks tend NOT to have extensive GPUs

Sorry realise that sounds a bit like playing games, she wants to work as a graphic designer, so a lot of picture editing and that sort of thing, probably on photoshop

MacBooks come with a 1.1 to 1.3 GHz Core M processor and Intel HD Graphics 5300 GPU.

This is fine for everyday tasks, but isn't really up to professional graphics design work, or heavy duty gaming. I would not encourage using a macbook for graphic design. I'd suggest instead a windows 7/8/10 Gaming laptop with an i7Q CPU (Q stands for quad- 4 real cores) and some level of decent mobile graphics (say a 960M or mobile R9-something)
