Though I've heard that the upcoming Photoshop series will work smoother with a dedicated GPU, but still not compulsory. Do correct me if I'm wrong sifus  The Vaio is a good choice, but suffers from heat and fan issues iinm... so you might want to take a look at the Asus instead if you want a dedicated GPU Otherwise, I would vote for the Portege R830 for pure lightness!  VAIO having problem on heat and fan? Hmm... actually this VAIO S model is one of my choices as well... How about Fujitsu, like SH561 model? or Asus U36SD (not sure whether out already or not)? Actually I do consider Portege R830 too, but just that no dedicated GPU, not sure whether is that really matter for my case here.... |
