Hi,

I going for new laptop and I need something light weight and small to bring together with my while doing shooting or meeting client.

The spec of the Asus Zenbook seems good but it able to handle Photoshop and lightroom? Anyone using it now? Please give some comment.

Model: Asus UX305FA-FC086H
Processor: Core M 5Y10C
Ram: 8GB DDR3 LV
Harddisk: 256GB M.SSD
Graphic: Intel HD Graphics 5300

Yeah, can handle (even RAW) files so long as you are not using a camera with very high pixel counts (i.e. D8xx series) and you are not doing very heavy rendering/ automation

Laptops are no no for Photoshop.
For lightroom, I've came to realize when you use the brush tools, graduated filters, sharpening, noise reduction, change of contrast/detail you will be lagging quite a bit so not quite suitable for subtle touches.

Lightroom is not coded to use graphics card whilst Photoshop is coded for graphics enhancement. Of course a workstation graphics card tend to work better but any graphics card is faster than non on Photoshop.

Interesting thing if you're using wide gamut monitors, Lightroom does not support 10bit per channel output. Only photoshop does that.

Why not?

It's really fast. 40MP on D8xx series vs 24MP on other cameras - that's really not that much of a difference.

The difference would be the time it takes to process stuff, that's all.

And what are the Macbook Pro that people have been using for same-day video edits?

Many notebook these days come with Core i7 processor and plenty of RAM to handle task, and they can do tasks equally and in some cases better than certain desktop setup.

How about Microsoft Surface "Non Pro"

I looking for daily travel usage while can do the photoediting.

Main software is LR but sometime will use Adope Premier for Timelapse etc

Pretty sure my laptop lags while editing photos from my D800 , especially when brushes are involved, as mentioned by the other forumer

Using a pretty powerful laptop some more

Can the "normal" Microsoft Surface run photoshop?

From review, yes its able to install.

I think shall able run and perform as well.

By the way, the new Lightroom 6 does use GPU to render the image.

Those ultrabook dont had external GPU, only using Intel GC from CPU

Not sure about the current zenbook spec now, but previously my friend bought a Zenbook model with Nvidia graphic.

Base on TS
I check XPS 13 also dont had as well

That's why I said "The difference would be the time it takes to process stuff, that's all."

For those looking for a sleek and relatively light ultra book with great screen, dedicated graphics card and overall pretty good performance. Coz you're willing to splurge for that extra few seconds/mins you save from rendering/saving/edits pics/video....

Get the razer blade 2015.
