Computer replacement for printing

Computer replacement for printing

2016-11-01 by Richard Smallfield

Hi guys,
this is a little off topic, but my printing as ground to a halt due to my geriatric Dell running Windows Vista.

Is there a forum any of you have used to talk about computer issues vis a vis workstation demands for printing? 

I'm thinking of an iMac. Please message me off-list if this is too off-topic.

with apologies if this is too irrelevant,
Rich

Hi Richard,

If you’re committed to buying an iMac, this is worth reading … https://photographylife.com/how-to-buy-imac-for-photography

If you’re open to a PC, I'd read this … https://photographylife.com/pc-vs-mac-for-photography

Personally, I use a 5-year old Lenovo W520 laptop that works great. I've upgraded it to 16GB of RAM and installed 2 fast SSDs, which helps a lot with image processing.

Happy shopping!
