Best option for an on-the-go photo editing laptop below £700

[T3CHKN0]

I was wondering what people thought my best option for a photo editing laptop for travelling would be? I only use Lightroom CC usually and have a PC if I need to do any PS work. Ideally it would be under £700 but I could push slightly higher. Any advice is much appreciated.

I saw that but both sellers have no reviews. Never trust random 3rd part sellers

I think this is essentially the same? http://www.ebuyer.com/757793-acer-aspire-f-15-laptop-nx-gd6ek-009

well if you find another seller it seems to be a good deal. Here is a review.

Thanks. I'll keep looking for it.

Keep in mind that they are all U processors, which means they're underpowered.

Yep. I was looking at the asus ux305 but according to some people the m3 cpu isn't enough for lightroom.

I know, I have a 4790k PC at home for more demanding tasks but this is just for lightroom edits while I'm away.

Desktop processor equipped laptops are very expensive.

Okay. I thought it would be a bit under powered but wasn't sure becuase some people said it was fine. Best to stick to i5.

who are talking desktop CPUs? A ULV CPU is just plain shit for everything else than web browsing and word. Did you forget that there is also HQ and such.

 

@T3CHKN0 Look for a used laptop with a HQ or MQ chip
