Those who do much serious image editing value more than all else; sheer- raw - power. A good video card is nice but definitely secondary to the brute force required to complete the algorithms needed to manipulate large image files and the special effects many require Almost as important is the ability to have large amounts of hard drive storage space with a large monitor with a high resolution. (but not too high) Be careful not to think the higher the resolution the better your images will look. Your images themselves will not get the extra pixels, only your desktop does. Your images will actually get smaller to see. Go for a high res. screen if your images are more pixels in size than your LCD. Especially if you need to see the whole image as close as possible to its full size. If your images are in the hundreds of pixels and not thousand, then stay away from UXGA style screens. Go with a SXGA version. Another valuable feature is being able to read flash memory cards. CD-RW's and DVD-RW's make large hard drive a little less necessary since you can archive photos for later use without tying up large volumes of disk space. The suggested laptops below will fill your needs very nicely in most of these categories. Few laptops can excel at every one of these areas, so you generally choose the features mentioned that are the most important to your needs. The two systems that can accomplish all these tasks are the 8588X and the 870P. The 8588X has the power, along with a variety of input ports. A strong 2nd is the 5690X because it shares the same powerful motherboard speed. If your images are primarily in landscape orientation then consider the D470W 17" WideView laptop. Nearly as powerful as the 8588X but with a LCD that can lend itself to unique images applications.
FYI: The Card Reader is a handy device that can read multiple formats of the popular flash memory cards used in digital cameras and digital video cameras as well as MP3 players. Having one allows direct import of the files into your laptop for manipulation. Al the above unit have all Hyper threading CPU's or equivalent, 800FSB, 400 MHz RAM |
