Hi All,
My sister is looking for a laptop to use for work. She's a graphic designer who has recently been laid off and is trying to do some contract work, she mostly uses Adobe CS6 but will likely upgrade to newer software in the future (InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator mostly I believe).
Her budget is around $1000 CAD (obviously lower is preferred). Are there any good options available? Should we wait for black friday?
Also, she's been in contact with a seller of off-lease/refurbished computers who suggested the following:
$770
Dell PRECISION 7510, Intel i7 6820HQ, 2.7 GHZ, 16GB DDR4, 180GB SSD + 1TB HDD Storage,
15.6" UltraSharp™ FHD IPS (1920x1080) Wide View Anti-Glare LED-backlit
AMD FirePro W5170M with 2GB GDDR5 dedicated memory
1 x SD Card Reader (SD, SDHC, SDXC, supporting up to 64GB);
1 x Thunderbolt® 3 (optional), 4 x USB3.0 with PowerShare; 1 x mDP; 1 x HDMI; 1 x Headphone and microphone combo jack
Wired: Integrated Intel 82580 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
Intel® 8260 Dual-Band 2x2 802.11 ac (Miracast) Bluetooth® 4.1, Dell DW1820 2x2 801.11ac + Bluetooth 4.1
Width: 14.88” / 378mm; Depth: 10.38”/ 261mm ;Height (front-Rear): Front 1.09”/27.76mm – 1.3”/(33mm)
Starting at 2.79kg (6.16lb)
I thought it was a bit pricey considering its a ~5 year old cpu (even if it is a workstation laptop).
