Hey folks,
Well, long time no see, I'm back with a new challenge from a friend of mine, she's requesting a computer for her photo editing, but has some general conditions that made it difficult, here they are:
1. couldn't be a dell or an iMac.
2. she didn't want to build it herself.
3. Needs a good monitor.
4. she doesn't have a keyboard or mouse.
5. needs and CD burner.
6. wireless capabilities.
around 1500 bucks for all of it.
she primarily uses Lightroom, CS6, photoshop elements.
I was like, ok yeah this can't be that hard... but then I started to think about it.
I don't have a clue about photo editing. I've been doing some research but figured I'd come to the guys who helped me build my first CPU, which is still a big success by the way!
So far, this is what I got:
