    Looking for a laptop any ideas

    Need a new laptop. £600 to spend. Don't need it for games but do do some photo shop on it. Any ideas on the best one to get at the moment.

    A Macbook probably.. They're good for Photoshopping and stuff like that.

    You'd have to look at 2nd hand ones though in the £600 range.

    Which version of photoshop, and do you use any of the features that can be GPU accelerated? Because if you do, you obviously need to look for something with an appropriate graphics card
