need some advice for purchasing a new laptop

Martina Stoecker · 11-14-2018, 02:56 AM

Good morning all......

my Dell Inspiron was stolen last week

, I was using my Dell Monitor in combination editing my images. Now I'm a bit lost.

I have a budget limit of Rand 7000.00 ..............looking at laptops with i5 15.6", 4GB, 128GB SSD the prices obviously are sky high for me.

Increadible Connection offers the Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IKBN | i5 | 4GB | 1TB | 15.6" | Win 10 price is R 7999 but reading some reviews it seems that it is too slow and the screen is giving problems?

Any ideas what I could look at in combination with the Dell monitor? As I am travelling a lot I prefer the laptop instead of a pc.

make sure it has a SSD. Makes a huge difference. Just bought a HP 2n1 for my wife, i3, 4 gigs ram and 500 ssd and its plenty fast for her and $550.

But she doesn't use it for PS or LR.

You can't like buy it on Amazon and ship it to S Africa?

Good luck!
