Looking at this for photo processing
Jul 22, 2021 21:46:52 #
Im not entirely sure what all these numbers mean, but I'm wondering if this would be good for photo processing. Its an Asus G14, This is the Best Buy version with a Ryzen 9 4900HS, RTX 2060 6GB, 16GB DDR4 3200 - 8GB onboard + 1 8GB SODIMM, and a 1TB SSD

The only downside to this would be the 14" screen, IMHO.

It's about the same size as the one I have, but i think it's performance would be an improvement.

I think 32 gb is a minimum ram requirement for snappy performance in Photoshop. You have not stated which software you're using. That does make a difference.

8GB of memory is too low. Get at least 16GB.

I mostly use Canons DPP and Topaz. Sometimes when I process astrophotos I use an old version of Nebulosity and when I'm capturing long exposures of deep space objects (15 sec to 3 min) I use a software called Sharpcap. It performs a live stacking process of every exposure and saves to a RAW, TIFF or FITS file for further processing.

I'm running Photoshop on my 8 GB Surface Pro just fine.

Unless buying an M1 Mac, which uses memory quite differently…

YES, it is a great Windows machine for photo editing if you keep it plugged in. It slows down considerably on battery.

For best results, use with a calibrated and profiled external monitor.

I'll give my usual piece of advice: go to a local (not big box) computer store. Tell them what you're looking to do with the computer. When I go to my local store the sales people (who are also technically efficient) point me in the right direction every time and they will recommend lower price laptops that will meet my needs.

Good advise, Thanks
