Spec me a laptop...

Well its not for me, its for a friend lol

Points to consider:
* For a web designer so need a machine/GFX card to run photo shop smoothly
* For home and work use
* Has to be a laptop
* Budget of around £400 (they are hoping that they could get one in the Black Friday deals)

Any ideas/pointers welcome!

Budget of around £400 (they are hoping that they could get one in the Black Friday deals)

It's Standard Money sorry!

Plus £400 is the cost of an average laptop really.

A £400 laptop will "run photoshop smoothly" - it will not howvere be fast, efficient or super-productive if the person's time is money etc. Also at £400 the GFX will be very standard integrated (although depending on the actual photoshop use this may not have any impact).

I thought as much...any ideas of the minimum spend for a laptop which can run Photoshop smoothly?

It depends how big the files her deals with are, I have an old crappy laptop that runs photoshop just will.

OP I would advise taking a look at the dell outlet, at £400 it should offer the best bang for bucks. Check at 3:15pm.
