Looking for a laptop for Photography and Graphic Design

[quimere]

Greetings,

Parallel to my other thread seeking a laptop for my programming needs, my wife was also looking to replace her current laptop. She uses an Asus X556UJ-XO001T (most specs here http/icecat.us/us/p/asus/x556uj-xo001t/laptops-X556UJ-XO001T-30151038.html) with 12gb RAM and a samsung evo 850 EVO 512GB.

Usually she has opened:
- second screen via HDMI
- photoshop CC
- lightroom CC
- Bridge CC
- Illustrator CC (most times)
- Firefox with around 10 tabs
- VLC (sometimes with movies)
- Thunderbird

I attach the form for looking for a laptop, to maximize information:

Very well detailed post but you forgot to include a preferred site for us to shoot advice's to you. You could take a look at this or this.

Google translate isn't kicking in for that aforementioned site. SO I tried my best.

Greetings Lutfij,

I don't mind about the site, any site/shop that ships to Spain is Ok for us (I listed that site because under the specs tab put everything).

Regarding the choices you made, I think they are a bit overkill and over-budget, I was hoping to get some other kind of laptops hehe. Thanks anyway!

Could you give me some websites you use to buy laptops from?

How much of an overbudget? Last I checked they were within the 2000Euro mark or the website I went on was not listing the prices honestly. Like my colleague has asked, we'll need a site that you're preferring to buy from since not all sites(in my knowledge) may offer shipping to your locality.

*Google Chrome's refusing to show the specifications tab on the link I parsed a while back.
