Best Computer for design work?

I need help figuring out what type of computer to buy, Storage wise, memory, processor? What's good to run adobe programs? I cant spend $1,000 on a mac just yet. What would get me by without being incredibly slow?Best Computer for design work?

Take a look at Windows Laptops for $700 and above - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=amb_link_833鈥?/a>

Adobe applications would run smoothly on Intel i5 or i7 processor and lots of RAM. If your budget is around $939 and STILL looking for Mac, then get Apple MacBook Air MC968LL/A.Best Computer for design work?
You didn't mention what type of design work you'll be doing, but if you're referring to graphic design using Adobe Creative Suite 5 or 5.5, you don't need anything super high-end. A quad-core processor, such as an Intel Core i5-2300 or -2310 would be more than sufficient. You could even get by, as you say, for a while on a dual-core Core i3-2100 or -2120. I'd get a machine with 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a midrange video card (such as an Nvidia GTX 550 Ti or GTX 560, or an AMD Radeon HD 6750 or 6770), and a good 24-27" monitor at 1920x1080 or 1920x1200. You'll want a 64-bit version of Windows 7.



I'd be happy to put together a parts list if you have a specific budget in mind (less than $1,000, I assume...). Let me know. :-)



Hope that helps!
