Hi,

Many years ago, I used to be quite knowledgeable with things like computers.
You know, when a 486, or a Pentium p100 was current...

Anyhow, these days I know nothing. Except my 3 1/2 year old laptop is hopelessly slow.
I use it for RAW photo editing and it's just getting to the point where life is too short to sit there waiting for it to catch up.
It's been like this since day one. I put it down to Windows 10....

So, I'm in the market for a new laptop.
I am on a budget, I certainly don't want to spend over £800. I'd be happier spending closer to £600.

Can anyone offer any recommendations as to what I should be aiming for?
I use my laptop almost exclusively for photo editing with lightroom and Photoshop.

I read that gaming laptops are a good bet, as they are geared towards performance which lends itself well to photo editing..

Would this be a good option?
