Photoshop needs a good display. If you need a laptop that has good cooling and can run GTA 5 high settings, Dell 7577 or Lenovo Y520, however they only have entry level IPS panel. You may want to bump up your budget or, sacrifice video settings in games.

I am not using photoshop for professional purpose, as long as it is able to run the design software without heavy lagging then it is fine for me. smile.gif

Is there any other option for you to recommend? or else I will consider the Dell and Lenovo that you just suggested, thanks!

You cannot upgrade GPU in most laptops. Is battery life important to you?

Battery life not so important...

As long as the budget laptop can run most design software and app development software like phonegap, photoshop, flash animation without heavy lag then is ok for me.

Thanks for suggestion. smile.gif

Lenovo Ideapad 320s 14 - i5-8250U, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 920MX GDDR5, entry level IPS, 52Wh battery, 1.7kg, good build quality, good input devices. Need RAM and SSD upgrades.

Note: 320s 14 is very similar to 520s 14, just different build material (plastic chassis with aluminium brush lid vs more aluminium, result in 0.1kg heavier, still considered good), different GPU selection and lack a fingerprint scanner

Thanks for your info, will consider that. smile.gif

Hi guys, currently I am considering Dell inspiron 7577 and Lenovo y520. Any other choices within these budget range?

My main usage is playing high settings games + multimedia design + Android and iPhone app development.

Thanks for any recommendations.

So it means not suitable for playing games for long hours, and cooling system is bad too?
