Posted February 11, 2016 My friend is going into college this fall and looking for a desktop replacement, that he can also take around from class to class. It can be a bit bulky, but still needs to be fairly portable. I was just wondering for the price what would be the best balance. Games can be run at low to med settings if it lowers size and just mainly needs to run photoshop and illustrator and maybe some light video editing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
