Hi All,
I'm in a photography club and we want to get members using Lightroom and Photoshop CC.
The problem is you need a reasonably modern laptop / pc to run them.
For myself I went for overkill so I bought a 16GB ram machine I7 processor with a high end graphics card.
It was a Dell Alienware PC so quite expensive for a casual user.
Lightroom and Photoshop have a minimum spec but really they don't work very well alone or together at minimum spec.
It's very hard to find this simple piece of information.
Could any PC guru here give me an idea what to recommend to members in terms of the minimum amount of RAM for it to run smoothly. Acceptable graphic card and recommended Processor and anything else you would recommend.
I'm surprised the Laptop companies don't make it easier to decide. Alot of laptops sold in this country (Ireland) in shops have 2GB and 4GB RAM which I don't think are enough.
Your input/insight would be appreciated.
