Best laptop for illustrator?

I have started a bridal design business and need to run Illustrator and possibly other software from the Creative Suite. I have a Dell laptop that is about 3 years old, and an iPad model a couple of years old that will not support ink and slide. I need to be able primarily to draw on screen and import base art. Is it better to get a tablet or a laptop, and which models can someone recommend? Thanks!

Only 1 hard drive is below specification, so you need at least another 7200rpm drive, internal or eSata

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.

Best laptop for Premiere Elements

Can you recommend a laptop for Premiere Elements.
I have PE9 and thinking about PE10.
Preferably matte screen.
UK based so Sager not really an option.
Thanks

Laptops are never best for video editing, since they're usually built for portability rather than power. They also cost about 50% more than desktops for the same amount of power.
But what type of camcorder is your video coming from?
If you are editign tape-based video, a dual-core processor and 4 gigs of RAM with a 500 gig hard drive should be adequate.
If you are working with AVCHD video, you should go for a quad core or i7 processor running Windows 7 64-bit.

Best laptop for working with after effects

I need a laptop for work with adobe after effects and some others. Anyway I need laptop wich will not cost more than 1400€ and which will have inside intel core i7, 4 GB of memory or more and Nividia graphic card. Somthing more pls dont say the apple is the best beacuse i dont like it very much.
Thanks.

4GB is a rather small amount of RAM for working with After Effects. If you can get a computer with more RAM, I recommend doing so.
For After Effects CS5, the graphics card (GPU) doesn't matter as much as RAM and CPUs, so focus on RAM and CPUs first.
In general, a laptop is not going to give you the same performance as a desktop computer of the same price. If you need a laptop, fine; but don't be surprised when performance isn't as good as you might like.

Need suggestion for Best Laptop for Premier Editing on the Go

Hello,
I am a longtime user of Premier and Aftereffects and planning to buy Premier CS4 in the next few weeks.
Considering I travel a lot I need a good laptop to edit my shoot while traveling. I would like to hear from this forum the recommended laptops for editing. I am budgeting around US $2,000/-.
Secondly should I request the laptop vendor for Windows XP instead of Windows Vista considering XP seems to have better speed than Vista. If CS4 is completely 64 bit then I may end up with Vista.
One review suggested Gateway P-7811FX is a good laptop for Photoshop / Premier CS4 since it is a gaming laptop and understand it weighs 9.1 lbs.
Thanks for reading this posting and all the suggestions - pointers in advance.

Holy crap...do NOT get a Gateway anything.
Gaming technologies and build concepts sometimes are useful in video production builds, but not always. Stuff like graphics rendering often doesn't affect video.
HP has a 17" laptop line in the dv7 that is pretty nicely configured. Dual 7200 RPM drives available, as well as on board eSATA built in (for additional storage, or for connecting to an external RAID array).
Vista 64 is preferable, since the OS can utilize more RAM. Even if the suite itself is only 64bit compatible (as opposed to completely 64bit "aware") you still benefit from the OS being able to delegate an entire set of RAM to each application without sharing from a small pool of only 4 GB. I believe you can configure that dv7 laptop with up to 8 GB of RAM (or at least it's capable of up to 8 GB, but maybe you have to purchase your own upgrades separately).
Vista 32 runs PPro and AE very fast on my laptop, faster than XP Pro ever worked for me. Vista is a little bit smarter about handling physical RAM and processor resources (Vista SP1 made the OS very usable, and 3rd party support is a non issue if you are purchasing new components or a new machine, as you seem to be doing...hiccups come with trying to get 5 or 10 year old hardware and software to work on a new OS like Vista). Don't believe too much of the hype until you've given it a shot.
Oh, about 64 bit support...Photoshop CS4 is 64-bit native (Windows Vista 64 only, not Mac OSX). After Effects and Premiere Pro can open multiple instances of the application for rendering and such to take advantage of RAM availability. After Effects and Premiere Pro do approach this slightly differently from one another, but the end result is still that you have a 32 bit application that is trying to act like a 64 bit one, and from what I've seen so far, that makes a difference over 32 bit OS.

Best laptop for ADF development?

Hi all,
The next week I want to buy a new laptop for adf development and the question is What are the optimal requirements to run jdev and deploy big apps to the integrated weblogic without lost my hair.
I know this is a well commented issue in this forum but the tecnology change quickly.
Jhon

Based on my experience, I can post below comments:
I used Windows7 with 4GB Ram and I5 processor (32 bit) in previous project and I started loving mac so I am using Mac (Mountain Lion 10.8.3 version, I7 processor with 8GB Ram) now for my current project but somehow I notice my mac machine hangs a lot though it is of higher configuration and also still has some jdeveloper issues like (some time my BC tester fails i.e. testing model from AM) fails adhoc basis. However all these comments are applicable only for my machines and I may be wrong as well. Just thought of sharing my experiences with Windows/Mac.
Another point, if you want to develop any ADF Desktop Integrator applications, only windows OS supports and MAC has not support for it.
Regards,
Ravi Nuka.

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

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 ;-)

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.

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.

Best laptop for Dj's

Depends on how many stage lights they have on Lol, but yes, I would have killed for a backlit keyboard when I DJ'ed, thought I touch type, so it wasn't that big of a problem.
Lex > Yes, but it really depends on what the purpose of the laptop is in the setup. If they're going to be running the show on it, a Windows laptop will work just as well, as you said, just needs the fastest CPU/RAM they can afford.
