I am about to lose my travel laptop. Old, like me. I have searched here on the Hog for suggestions. They seem to be dated and as technology moves forward so quickly, I decided to ask this amazingly informative group for suggestions. I use LR and have a desktop (PC) for my post processing and I want to fully work on my photos when we are wintering elsewhere. My budget would be about $1300. I have been looking at Alienware by Dell and Lenovo Legion y520. I would like 32 GB ram, 512 SSD and 1-2 T HD i7core. But graphics card and such, I would like advice. I have looked at some of the sites suggested for “make your own photography laptop” but they are so expensive. And I am not sure I need it all. I will be switching to the Adobe subscript LR/PS when this is purchased. Should I get an external HD to put catalog and photos on to for transfer to home PC? Thank you ahead of time for your assistance. BTW, I travel to a lot of the National Parks and carry a Nikon D750 with some good glass.

I have been very happy with my Toshiba Portege, however I do my photo processing on my Dell XPS tower PC. I would NEVER buy anything from Lenovo, as they are owned by the Communist Chinese government, our biggest enemy. I spend as little as possible on Chinese technology items.
