I have no idea with actual computers. So here is my call for advice.
I looked into this a year ago, but got sidetracked!
My IBM ThinkPad T60 is struggling with Coreldraw and Photoshop when working on shower curtains at 6 foot by 6 foot and 300 dpi. I export as a png to my client (that is their requirements). It manages but the process is slow especially if I have both programs on the go combining elements. I guess I need something newer and with more power, but I don't need gaming power or anything like that. This computer would be solely for designing and emailing to client.
All pointers and examples welcome. Just one thing...not a "Mac".
It would be nice to not have to break the bank!
Cheers Janners.
