Best laptop 2015

Looking to replace my desktop with a new laptop for photography (I'm not a professional). I use mostly Lightroom, Photoshop on occasion. Any suggestions on brands, models, screen resolution, screen size, solid state memory, etc? Thanks

HI Bill
THank you for the quick reply..
I have read a few reviews of the Asus Rog today, and it seems to be the best choice right now. At least for me. So I am very glad to hear, that you have had so good experience with the Asus as well.
My biggest concern is noise from the coolers, because I need to have a very lownoise laptop when I sit in the new office. The room is small and we need to work with some kind of noise reduction because the walls and floor is quite hard and kind of amplify all sounds in there :-)
Another thing: the one I plan to buy gomes with 16 GB Ram (2 x 8) a 256 Gb SSD and a 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD. I might be able to live with this setup - at least for some time. i guess I could just put in another 16 Gb ram and change the HDD some day in the future when my needs eventually changes. SSDs comes in 1 TB now - could that be the way to go? Keep the 256 and change the 1 TB from HDD to SSD...
I also read a bit more about Thunderbolt. Seems to me, that with fx. a LaCie extermal Thunderboltbased raid system I would be able to edit fluid 4K directly from the external disk???
The only thing I reslly dont like with theAsus Rog series is the gamer design. I can almost smell the rubber. i would rather have an aluminium/carbon cased monster instead. But I can live with that as long as the specs looks so good.
Anyone else having any comments on the Asus? Please share ;-)

MSI 4th best laptop brand - Laptop Magazine

MSI has always strived for innovation, design and efficiency, providing the best experience through quality and performance. In March, Laptop Magazine, renowned media for mobile technology, released their article ranking the best and worst laptop brands of 2015. MSI was placed as one of the Top 4 “Best Laptop Brands” in the world, coming out on top over competitor brands like ASUS, Lenovo, and Acer.
“From design to performance, MSI’s gaming notebook innovations consistently impress us”, also “If you’re looking for a laptop powerhouse, MSI is a great brand to choose from.”- Laptop Magazine
MSI is honored to have received such high praises and positive reviews. We would not have been able to achieve these accomplishments without the support and feedback of our fans, customers and community. We will continue our pursuit to provide the best in gaming.
See more details here
http://blog.laptopmag.com/msi-brand-rating

wow, this is impressive.
It seems that MSI has improved a lot these years.
To further analyse this chart, there are some underlying meanings rather than just a few simple numbers.
Brands ranked the top four are Apple / Dell / HP / MSI.
*The review part, Apple ranks the first whereas MSI ranks the second. This point suggest that the MSI product quality is approved and recognised by professional editors.
*Display and Audio performances, two of the most important features for gaming notebooks, are given the highest score. While MSI brand focuses on "Gaming", these two scores truly reflect that efforts MSI have put in building its brand name and gaming products pay off.
*Last but not the least, Dell ranks NO.1 and MSI ranks NO.2 in Innovation.
I personally believe that innovation is the primary factor to determine whether a brand/company is going upwards or downwards, especially for those in the IT industry. One disruptive innovation appreciated by consumers can really change the market. The investments and the result of it are therefore critical.
Dell, ranking the first in this category, is known for its classic brand, the Alienware, in the gaming market. Before 2014, it didnt even occur to Laptop magazine's editors to put MSI in the comparison list. One year later, MSI finally gets their attentions and jumps to top of the ranking and chases right after Dell in this category. I would imagine MSI's gaming notebook finally get to compete head to head with Dell's Alienware.
It's quite rare and remarkable to see a brand originated from Taiwan to achieve this.
MSI's recent IT advancement, the GT80 in-built mechanic key board, for example, really sets a new standard for the gaming notebooks.
Let's check the comparison chart again

What is the best laptop for Photoshop Elements 10 ?

I have HP Pavilion g6 Notebook,i5-245M 2.5GHZ, 4 GB mwmory, 64-bit Operating system window 7, Radeon Graphics, Eidtior not working , I get error message ( Unable to continue because of hardware or system error,Sorry,but this error in unercoverable).
So I want to give this one to my son, and I want to bay new One for me,
but i do not want to have same Error with my new Laptop,
So any one know what is the best Laptop for PhotoShop Elements 10 ?
Thanks for Helping me .

I would suggest a machine with a multi-core processor and plenty of storage as photo files take up quite a lot of room over time. Many laptops have a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 and whilst elements will run OK some menu functionality will be missing if the display is not at least 800 pixels in height. A resolution of 1600 x 900 would be much better.
Independent advice is best, such as Which, UK. You can get a trial membership for as little as £1 to access their recommendations.

Best laptop for a family

What is the best laptop for a family- value, price,etc?

When a family shares a computer it is best to create individual accounts for each user so that email, messages, and contacts don't get blended. (Parents can set up administrator accounts for themselves and the kids can have normal accounts.) So far so good, all Apple notebooks can handle this.
Potential problem: digital photos, music, and movies. Assuming you have kids they are likely to download more music and video than the parents. Since the kids will eventually leave the nest you'll probably want to have them establish their own Apple IDs so they can take their music with them when they leave without having to have access to your family ID. Leaving this issue aside, for family use you will want to have the largest hard drive possible to accomodate all the users.
For a single user a 128GB drive might be large enough but for a shared computer no way. My wife and I wouldn't be able to even co-exist on a 256GB drive but we are somewhat out of the norm having overlapping but different music tastes and being avid photographers. So married couple could probably live with a 256GB drive but add a child or two...
Once again, assuming you have children, I'd look at the 13" MBP mostly because it has a 500GB hard drive. All the other MacBooks have solid state drives which are wonderful but are much more expensive. My favorite of Apple's computers, the 13" MacBook Air would cost $1600 with a similar sized SSD while the 13" MBP costs $1200
One other point: I always advise customers to buy a notebook if they need portability not just because they want it. A notebook always costs more than a desktop computer with similar specs and since it is carried around and subjected to the elements, tends not to last as long. Perhaps a better solution is a Mac mini and an iPad mini.

Need help in choosing the best laptop

I want the best laptop for running Windows Server/Client, Linux/Unix and VMWARE.

I am looking to switch from a desktop to a laptop what would people suggest. I would need something that could handle heavy graphics and a lot of ram.

The 10 best laptops: MSI GS70 is the only winner in gaming laptops

Check out "The 10 Best laptops from PCmag.com" and MSI GS70 is the only winner in gaming laptops category. Cool~
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2369981,00.asp

Wow, looks like you guys get some nice extras over in Asia. I bought mine here in the USA, and the only "extra" I got was the laptop sleeve case.
As for your questions.....
Turbo boost from Intel is sorta set to automatic. It will boost based on the program you are running on the system. As for Cooler Boost 2.0....I don't remember seeing that on my GS70.
Killer Wireless is always on. On average, I get downloads of 4.6-5 MB a second on Steam. So you don't need to do anything special to get it working.
As for your HDD selection....
I have the 256 GB SSD/16 GB RAM edition, so I keep my SSD clean except for system related programs. The only programs I have installed on the SSD are things like Office 2013 Professional Plus, and smaller programs like the Starcraft Anthology USB. You'll want to install everything on your Data drive, since this was made to store all of your games, music, videos, etc.

Best laptop for Premiere Pro CC 2015?

Hi
I have a nice system at my homeoffice, but now I need a laptop too, for when I´m working at another office in town. I´m in a bit of a hurry, and have not catched up lately on all the new laptops and stuff, so I hope some of you guys will give it a try and help me with this one ;-)
I allready have an 4 year old laptop with only 4 GB RAM and even though it did a reasonable job years ago in Photoshop CS4 etc. it really doesn´t work for anything else than Word and internetbrowsing anymore.
So I need a laptop that will do nice, but not a 10.000$ workstation laptop...
I mostly edit AVCHD files and nothing above 1080 50P, but who knows if I will not have to deal with 4K within a year. But the 4K is not a real dealbreaker - 1080 will be just fine for a while I guess, as I mostly edit videos for online use. Besides from Premiere I use Indesign, Photoshop. Illustrator and Lightroom a lot.
As I ám going to be sitting in a small office with two other persons, I really need a laptop that does not make to much noise when idle or during normal use (like photoshop, etc.) I can live with a bit of noise when encoding/exporting video, but not while I am edditing in Premiere...
I have thought about the ASUS ROG G751JT-T7018H - wich comes with 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD / 7200 rpm,
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M - 3 GB GDDR5 and thunderbolt....
So the pricetag would about 2500 $ I guess - don´t want to spend more. Anyone having experiences with this laptop - especially concerning noiselevel?
My questions is (and these question are general questions - not only concerning the the ASUS mentioned above):
1. Is 16 GB RAM sufficient - or will 32 make a huge difference? I did not see much improvements when I upgraded my desktop from 24 to 64 GB RAM...
2. Wich Geforce xxxM cards should be avoided - if any? Is the 970M supported?
3. Would it be better with one 1 TB SSD disk instead of 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD? Heat- and noisewise?
4. Think I read somewhere that an external disk (RAID) with Thunderbolt could speed up things - make editing smoother - any thought about the Thunderbolt?
If you have any suggestions or experiences with running Adobe CC on any of the newer laptops from 2014/2015 please share them.
Thx in advance - and sorry for the long post...
Cheers

HELp! Best laptop for photo editing.. or would a PC be better?

I'm looking to buy a new computer. Would love for it to be a laptop but a PC would be ok too.. Any information on which is best for photo editing.. hopefully a large volume of photo editing.. which ones already have photo programs installed on them? help!

Well.... the biggest limiter will be how much you can spend...
But, you need to look for a higher end processor and a fairly decent graphics card.
No new computers come with any decent graphics program.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

What is the best laptop to run Premiere Pro cc?

Hi everyone,
I've been having a lot of problems with Premiere cc since I downloaded it a few months ago and am now realising the problem is with my computer. I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro, 2.5 ghz, 8gb Ram, intel hd 4000 processor which just doesn't seem to have the juice to run Premiere pro smoothly. If I do any kind of editing, even just colour correction, the footage gets very sticky when playing back in Premiere. if I try anything advanced like adding warp stabilier the program crashes. I also bought magic bullet looks and I can barely open it without the whole computer having a meltdown.
This has been extremely frustrating and has made working with Premiere pro a nightmare. I am now planning to buy a new laptop/pc and am looking for suggestions on what to buy. i am looking for best bang for my buck. While I would be willing to spend over a £1000 I would obviously prefer not to if I don't have to. I thought my Macbook Pro would have more than enough horsepower to handle it and have been left dissapointed and frustrated so would really appreciate some advice from the wider Adobe community on this. I am also open to suggestions on desktops, not just laptops.
Thanks!
Tony

Hi Jim,
I am using it solely for wedding videography so it quite basic stuff. I am filming on a canon 7d and really just looking or something that I can edit the footage with and put on some light effect/colour grading. I am not able to say what level of effects I will be needing to use as at the minute when i try anything other than basic editing the programme has a stroke. Like I mentioned I have Magic Bullet Looks suite sitting waiting for me but I haven't even had a chance to try it out. One effect I really like but know that it is processor draining is some warp stabiliation . There are certain shots it really lends itself to but I just bought myself a nice monpod and fluid head so shouldn't need that anymore.
Last night I tried downloading Premiere cc onto my girlfriends £500 basic desktop and to my great surprise everthing ran like a dream! (compared to my computer anyway). Is this normal, that a cheap desktop would so comprehensively outperform a 12 month old Macbook Pro? I am wondering if there is an unresolved problem with the macbook itself.
To give you an example, if i have put warp stabilisation on a clip on my macbook I have to put it at 1/4 resolution for it to playback and even then it is extremely choppy and sticky and sometimes crashes the programme. Last night on the budget desktop I was able to put it to full resolution and it played smoothly, just like it would if it had been exported.
Any advice you could give on this would be much appreciated. ive been round the traps with apple and adobe tech guys and neither of them can find anything wrong with the computer or the programme.
Thanks,
Tony

Please reply with the best laptops that can suit to my needs '̿'\̵͇̿̿\ .....(^o^)

Hi foks!
I allready have like 3 or 4 years a HP 530 with this capabillities:
Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 2)
2,00 GB RAM
32 - bit operation system
Procesor Genuine Intel (R) CPU T2300 @ 1,66GHz 1,67GHz
The system is classified by it self with the rate of 3,0... so i definetly need something beter
So I need a new laptop that will aloud me to use the next things as the best they can get:
1.- I want to use the full potential of programs such as Ableton Live 8 i mean without affecting my mixes, by the CPU Loads, because i like to play audio in multiple and different channels, unfortunately as normal this make my laptop slower.
2.- It must aloud me to watch movies with 1080p Bluray (Rip or Discs) format and better if it can burn this type of discs.. I normally can only watch this movies on Windows Media Classic - Home Cinema via codecs, and by doing some suitable configurations, this always gets me tired at the end..so the limit size of movies that i can watch are about 15 GB. I actually played one anime movie with 20 GB very, very flawless but as i say.. it gets worse with files that have more capacity and real picture. And i cant watch any bluray Disc even if it is ripped (accessed as a disc by the folders) and they just have like 7GB size...
3.- I recently buyed a Seagate External FreeAgent Desk USB 2.0 that has 2 TB and i allready need more space xD..so it will be great for the new laptop to have external connexions for some FireWire400, USB 2.0, eSATA equipement's... and better if the size capacity of the laptop is close to the one of the external Desk i mean about 2TB
This are extra requirments that i would like to have, but not primarly as the ones before:
4.- I am a true fan of games, but since this is not a console well... i would like to play some games with real HD quality such as StarCraft 2, Assasins Creed, Battlefield 2, WoW, you know the classic and the newe ones. I actually woud like some laptop that is capable of playing PS3 games (whatever way if it is possible ;P)
So please write down a list of laptops that have the primary needs that i want to have, and some another list of the ones that may be "better" in capabillities including the videgame functions.
Thanks

Go to an Apple store.
I'm not being facetious - I've owned several HP laptops, and several Apple laptops and desktops. Apple does everything better. The problems I've had with HP and Windows are enormous compared with Apple. My newest Apple laptop is about seven years old, and it is faster than my two year old HP. One of my HPs has been back to the factory three times in one year for repairs. Now it's out of warranty and pretty much junk. The two year old Pavilion (Vista Home Premium 64) is now pretty slow, it works OK but not as fast as my old Macs.
Every Windows software update has been a problem and generally causes the computer to run slower. Meanwhile every OS X update causes my Apples to run faster. I know you don't believe me. That's OK. No one believes this until they try it for themselves.
Windows used to be OK, but has been steady downhill since XP. I have bought my last Windows computer ever. Now I am looking at Macbook Pros for my next laptop, since the last one is still going strong after seven or eight years I expect a new one should too. The only thing I've had to do is replace its battery, but just once in seven years.
Apple support is better, much better. Just look at the Apple user discussions forum and you'll see lots of very informed people willing to help. This board is full of complaints like mine and help seems virtually nonexistent.
I think HP is dead as a company too. Used to be great, but now they just make cheap disposable computers and printers. Most of their revenue comes from selling overpriced ink.
So for your questions:
Ableton Live 8 has an OS X version.
Blu-Ray: No Apple laptops have a Blu-Ray option but there are plenty of aftermarket internal and external Blu-Ray drives. I think Blu-Ray licensing fees are the problem.
External drives: All Apple computers have Firewire 400/800 except for the low end laptops. All have USB 2.0. The maximum volume size OS X can handle is 8 exabytes (8 billion gigabytes). Not sure about eSATA. All their internal HDs are SATA drives though.
Gaming - I'm not a gaming person but I have many friends who started out with questions like yours and none of them ever stayed with Windows. They didn't believe me either, since they all thought once a computer is two or three years old it is junk. After buying Macs they know better now. One friend in particular spent $5000 on what he described as a "custom high end Windows gaming computer", after a year of problems he bought the most expensive iMac there is, for half as much (27" Intel Core i7). He says the iMac is better. After a few months of not using his $5000 windows desktop he practically gave it away.
So bring your skepticism to an Apple store. Leave your credit card at home though :-)
Good luck.

Best laptop for streaming a slingbox

Hello,
I currently live in china and have a dell inspiron 1525 duo core processor and plan to set up a slingbox in the usa to stream hd tv.
So, I plan to have slingbox in the usa and stream it over to china recieving it on my laptop.
Is my computer capable of doing this with quality? Is there another laptop out there that will be better? Are there upgrades I can buy for my Dell?
Any information would be great
thanks

To my knowledge, the Slingbox can only encode standard definition output (the ones that support high def input downscale it to SD before encoding), so that machine should be more than fast enough.
HOWEVER there is the question of whether you'll be able to stream across the Pacific reliably, especially through the Great Firewall of China. No laptop on the planet will help you if you are limited by network connectivity problems.

Best Laptop for AE7

I have Premier pro CS3 & AE7. I need to buy a laptop to be more moble.
What is working best out there?

Hey Joey, I just got one of those MacBook Pros last Firday, exactly the same config as yours. They do scream! I got the My Book studio edition 1TB FireWire 800 External HD for under $300, so I'm all set except for maybe Mokey or something else for motion tracking. I've got FC Studio 2, and will be running Shake and Maya on it to work on the movie "Robot Land" so hopefully it will continue to perform well. I'm coming off a PowerBook G4 so anything seems faster, but this new system is so sleek and there's practically no wait time for apps to launch. The only problem I had was getting Migration Assistant to copy my old stuff to the new machine, but it worked great the second time, with a little better prep on my part.
Now I'm getting up to speed on the "Red" digital camera editing work flow for the inaugural OpenCut.org editing contest. It's going to be a wild June!
On the flip side, I got my wife a new Dell Inspiron after her Sony laptop died, for under $1000 with tax, and it screams with Adobe CS3 too! I turned off UAC (User Account Control) in Vista Home edition, and it runs much better than XP ever did, without the annoyng UAC popups. It's not a laptop though. :)
Bottom line: Embrace Mac, Dell, Leopard, and even Vista, but avoid Sony.
