upgrading RAM & storage to SSD would help
as you load photo from HDD, will be abit slower. mostly the time u feel slow is when pixelpeeping (zooming into photo) one of the option is to render smart preview and 1:1. will take abit of your time initially to render, but then smooth editing. |

QUOTE(nukeaf @ Dec 28 2018, 02:55 AM) my current closest options are either to upgrade to a larger ssd (which i will put all files there, and also run the os/lightroom from the ssd too), or 8 gb of ram. if u could upgrade to 8gb of RAM would be nice too.or i could sell my laptop and go for ryzen system (if any major differences exists)  ssd is probably the way to first yeah?  SSD is cheaper now , get 240gb is less than rm200 only. i'd suggest to get 480gb at least, as you wont have space if have a lot of files (for editing). i did this workflow below when editing file. store images on hdd (external hdd is fine) render smart preview on ssd editing goes very smoothly LR will pull the data from original file only when u exporting. mind sharing the laptop make/model? at least we can know if it has additional hdd/ssd bracket or support m.2 type ssd. and to find out how many RAM slot it has. |

QUOTE(nukeaf @ Dec 28 2018, 08:40 PM) its the lenovo y520. i5 7300hq, 4gb ddr4, 1tb hdd. or if lenovo is reading this, maybe you guys wanna sponsor me the y7 series? (thot it'd be worth a shot per spec sheet )yeah seems like you're workflow is more convenient, and probably put less load on the system. never thought about that smart preview thing. will try that one out first. and ssd seems to be my best next upgrade for now yeah? i saw on youtube that the more space an ssd have, it will generally perform a bit better than the lower capacity ones. probably the best option for me now is the 480gb. it says on the deck, it does have an additional PCIe ssd storage slot. and i think (guessing) it also have an additional ram slot. *money fly*  does say that it has m.2 pcie slot as well. just bring to a reputable shop and ask them to pasang m.2 type then maintain your current hdd. but need to migrate windows into the ssd this video show it has 2 ram slot not sure of the speed |
