Laptop recommendations (Graphics editing <$1,500 range)?

[snorex]

Hi all,

Do you have any laptops to recommend me for the following requirements:
Requirements
- Price range: <$1,500 (willing to go up to $2,000 if necessary)
- Must be fast (currently when I open my internet browser it takes 5 seconds so I was hoping to get something faster)
- For making videos eg. Camtasia
- Run graphics design programs eg. Photoshop / Gimp
- Watch YouTube
- Work eg. Excel / Access

Thank you

Wait for AMD Renoir based laptops. The 8 cores option will certainly benefit the work you do, i.e. video encoding, photoshop, etc.

Thanks, is there a good place I can monitor for the release of such laptops?

Any brands to watch out for?

You can check on Lenovo's site. The customer service person did mention that we should start seeing Renoir based laptops this month, though he did not specify when.

I checked lenovo's website. Doesn't seem like the Renoir models are out?

Are there any other recommendations I can check out in the mean time?

Thanks.

Hi all - just wondering. Would this model fit my specifications? Or do you have a better model to suggest?

Saw it mentioned on this thread: https://www.lenovo.com/sg/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-e-series/ThinkPad-E14-Gen2-AMD/p/22TPE14E4A2

Edit: Found a few other models too.

Thank you.

Get the 4700U version. But i can say you will definitely want a much powerful cpu. You should be looking at the 4800H instead. Hence in the first place we recommended the Legion 5 laptop with 100% sRGB screen.

Below $1.5k that is the only laptop you should aim at.

But take note of the weight. 2.5kg vs those thin ones.

Thank you. So just to clarify. You are saying get this: https://www.lenovo.com/sg/en/laptops/legion/legion-5-series/Lenovo-Legion-5-15ARH05/p/88GMY501444

But upgrade to 4800H correct?

Thanks.
