Device for Photo Editing

[IconxDestiny]

Hello! I am looking for a portable device for photo editing and was wondering what recommendations you all had. I currently have a desktop that I do all of my work on, but it doesn't do me much good when I want to make adjustments on the spot for a customer. I was looking at the new Ipad Pro as it bench marked very high and now has a type C plug now. I was also looking at the i5 8gb RAM Surface Pro 6. I am open to any other options and my price range is right around $800-$900. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would suggest the Lenovo Yoga 720. 8th Gen 8GB. 2 in one, Sleek design, Good Keyboard, Good Battery life. Otherwise I would suggest the Dell XPS 15. Great laptop. I swear by it (however it is slightly above your budget)

You need a good display then. Any preference on display size and battery life?

I don’t have much preference on battery life or display size. I am fairly open for suggestions!

Hmm you prefer Ultrabook/regular laptop or gaming/performance laptop? Also, any preference on weight? (I have no idea why I didn't ask you for this)

I don’t need a “gaming” laptop as I have my desktop. As for weight I’d prefer something that isn’t very heavy as I will be carrying it with me almost all the time. Thanks!
