Hello,
I have a photography biz which means I am processing large raw files and doing a bunch of post work in photoshop.
I use to have a toshiba tablet which I loved but after 4 years it died. I was in a pinch and had to get something quick so I ended up with a HP tablet which I HATE! It's slow, runs hot, and is starting to crash a bunch.
Going to be getting a new comp here soon and sense I get a discount at Sony I have been looking at their desktop. I have gone into the store and it's 10x faster than what I am using now.
My question is do I get the pre-configured model or custimize.
System 1
Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM (2.0 / 2.90GHz)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Features: 24" Full HD touch-screen LCD, 6GB RAM, 1TB (7200rpm) HDD, Blu-ray player/burner, NVIDIA® graphics 1GB, HDMI™ in/out, TV tuner
System 2
Intel® Core™ i7-2720QM (2.2 / 3.3 GHz)
Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 64-bit
Features: 24" Full HD touch-screen LCD, 8GB RAM, 1TB (7200rpm) HDD, Blu-ray player/burner, NVIDIA® graphics 1GB, HDMI™ in/out, TV tuner
Only main changes are RAM, processor, and OS. Are those upgrades worth an extra $600? Will I be able to tell the difference? I don't mind spending a little extra cash as long as it will pay for itself in the long run.
Thanks for your help.
Jeff
