I'm currently looking for a laptop that is light weight but has enough power to handle my lightroom and photoshop workload. Portability is really important to me but obviously I have to sacrifice some performance on the graphic side if I want something really portable. I was wondering if any of you guys are currently using a laptop with Intel Iris Plus Graphics for photo editing/graphic design work? If so, what has your experience been like and have you encountered any issues? Thanks!

Thank you!

I would prefer an ultrabook style laptop and 5lbs would be too heavy for what I am looking for.

I'll definitely have to look into that! I've never heard of them before.

Let's say 6 hours

Awesome! Looking forward to it. Thanks!

I'm from Dallas, Tx to be exact. I don't want to go above $2400. Ideally, I would like to stay below 4lbs and I definitely want decent battery life.

Hello everyone! I am currently in need of a new laptop and I want to make sure that whatever I get fits my needs. I mainly do photo editing, no video for now, but need something that is very mobile. For the most part, most of my editing involves basic adjustments, dodging and burning, adjusting contrast, stuff like that which makes me think I may not need dedicated graphics. In some rare instances, I do use a Wacom tablet for more intense photoshop stuff and currently experience a lot of input lag. I might look into trying some graphic design in the near future so I do not want to limit myself too much on the GPU side either. I know there isn't a "Perfect" laptop that does it all but I would like to find a nice balance. I currently have a spreadsheet with some of the different laptops I've been looking at. If any of you guys have any experience with any of these, have some advice to give, or have any other options I should look at, please let me know! Thank you guys! Laptop Options.xlsx
