Am posting this query on behalf of a freelancing friend who is making a switch from Mac to PC at the request of her employer. She currently puts together books & reports using Photoshop, Word, PageMaker, and Illustrator. Photo work involves both B&W and color, and the volume can be considerable for any given publication.
My friend, a seasoned editor but not an an advanced graphic designer, is contemplating purchasing a laptop with Windows XP and a 17" screen for this, since she works both at home and at her office. Aside from the restrictions of the display size itself (usable but cumbersome), what problems is she likely to encounter using this equipment for her projects? Processing speed drag? Color or RAM problems?
This is not a PC/Mac issue, but, rather, a laptop/desktop issue. We’re looking for laptop recommendations as well as ways to enhance a laptop for her work. Personally, I think she ought to get a desktop computer, but anyway …
Thanks.
