What portable laptop would you recommend for school use?

best laptop for video editing and graphic design image

Mark Ferna

I am graphic design student, so my main use for this is mostly adobe CS6; and I also do a bit of video editing.


I am leaning towards purchasing an ultrabook, more specifically, the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon.


Any other laptops I should consider purchasing?
I have considered Macbooks, but I figure,I can purchase a windows laptop with the same specs for a little cheaper.

Answer
You really can't go wrong with Macs for design. If you are absolutely bent on going with a Windows laptop, get something with an i7 Intel chip, third generation. The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon looks like it will work. But, I got my macbook for much less than what Carbon is retailing for. If you're freelancing in graphic design, check out http://freelancegraphicdesigner.info/ as a resource! Best of luck!
