Hey all,
Looking for some computer suggestions from those on here who are knowledgeable on the subject. Since going back to school, I've found my current computer can get a bit tired from the tasks and programs I have to run.
Here's what I need from it:
- portable, but able to attach to a docking station when I'm home. I already have a docking station for a Microsoft Surface, so being able to continue to utilize that would be extra points (would have to be a better Surface). Currently using a Surface Pro 5, but one of the lower models with limited memory.
Have to be able to run the following programs:
- full Microsoft suite
- Adobe programs (photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc)
- Autocad
- SketchUp
- Rendering software such as Lumion
Good graphics screen for photoshop and similar software a bonus. Goal is to not be too expensive, hopefully under $1000, as I am a student again. Oh, and no Apple products. I hate the software interface/architecture.
