I finally got my computer! I love it. I can open numerous programs at one time and work between them, with no crashing. Previously I could only open one item at a time. Close it before opening another program otherwise the computer was not happy. I have the scanner, google chrome, Photoshop, and Adobe illustrator CS6 at the same time. If I want to use Corel Painter 12 I close Adobe illustrator, just in case. So excited.
So now I get to play around and have fun with my programs and not get stuck or crash. O.K., what did I buy?
A Dell....Dell workstation Precision 4700. Many people suggested getting a Mac because, well, that is what everybody else does. But after research I found that this computer will work well for me.
I spent so much time researching, my husband nearly went crazy. He finally said, "Just order a computer and get it over with."
The top helpful companies on the phone were Apple, Dell, then Lenovo. I think any of the computers would have worked for what I want to do but I would have had to spend much more to get the same computer in the Apple version and it would have been a desktop rather than a laptop. I wanted a laptop.
Apple was the easiest to talk to. And Dell has been very helpful over the phone. They sent us many emails to make sure we were pleased with a problem we had with the computer.
So, for graphic design, I think you would be happy with the computer I chose. I will update my opinion in the future.
