Which of the four for graphic design?

[shahidr100]

Hi,

I need to buy a notebook.

I use Photoshop CS6, Coreldraw X5, Pagemaker 6.5, Virtualdub for video editing. Most of the times I use these applications only. Occasionally I play games.

I have shortlisted three laptops. I am finding hard to decide which laptop to use.

Acer Aspire M3-581TG (i5 CPU)
HP 15-n007ax (Amd A10 CPU)
Lenovo G505s (Amd A10 CPU)
Samsung NP355V5C-S05IN (Amd A8)

I am more inclined towards Lenovo and Samsung as I can downgrade easily to Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit) but its review is not at all good in the internet.

Please help. Its almost a week now but still not decided. Stuck at the above three.

Thanks in advance

I5 wins but id get a desktop...you will need lots of rram. 8gb min and 16 is better for what u plan on doing. Also a good gpu can't hurt with a lot of prrograms writing gpu support into the software. (Gpu + CPU to speed up rendering time )

Helly Beezy,

Thank you so much for the reply.
Actually I am on the move many a times so I would prefer a laptop.

Thanks for your reply delphysmith

Seems like Acer Aspire M3-581TG is getting more votes.

AMD A10 cant compete i5?? That is strange!!

Any more inputs from anyone please?

the AMD likely has a much better iGPU and would be better for gaming. but the tasks you described above are largely CPU intensive and the i5 will smoke the AMD
