I'm going to be going to Uni in a month to study Illustration and I am looking into getting a laptop. I basically need something with a large screen (preferably 17"+) and something that is generally good for graphic design - using photoshop etc....art things. I have no idea about computers so any advice would be great....or suggestions/free laptops.
I don't want to really spend anything above the £700ish mark, although I need to speak to my parents about that.
I'm also unsure about wether I should go for PC or a Mac...I already have all the software I need for a PC, so I'm leaning more to that, but I know Macs are supposed to be better for graphicy-arty-stuffs.
So yeah - what kind of specs should I look for?
Thanks!!
