New laptop - need GPU?

Hi all

I got a MacBook Air, 13 "(un plus rapide je pourrais acheter il y a 2,5 ans), but was recently pronounced dead that I accidentally spilled some cola on this (VERY stupid)."

In any case, I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I was wondering on the GPU.  I am now watching powerful laptops and mobile work stations with dedicated GPU, but as I had a few problems of LR with my PC recently (balance - changed in the develop module, not carried out in the library of the white module)),

I was told to cut the GPU acceleration.  My PC is an Intel Core i7 - 4930K CPU @3 processor. 40 GHz, 32 GB RAM, SSD HDD and a Nvidia GeForce GTX770 graphics (2 GB, GDDR5).

When I got my assembled PC, I bought the best graphics card, I could afford in time, as well as the CPU, the RAM, what I wanted to do now too.

Although my new laptop (will be a PC, as I am not a big fan of Mac), promises to be very fast too, I was wondering if I really need to spend so much money for a dedicated GPU card if I need to turn it off anyway?

I read what follows here on the forum:

Notes for Lightroom CC GPU (2015)

And I do understand that I need to look to the future (reason for getting a fast machine now)...

I was looking at a Dell XPS15 (6700HQ-I7 Quad Core, 6 MB Cache - 3.5 GHz) with Ultra HD 15.6 inch 4 K (with touch) screen, 16 GB of RAM and Geforce GTX 960 M 2 GB GDDR5 GPU).

The other is a Dell Precision 5000 - 15 inch (i7-6820 HQ, Quad Core, 2.7 GHZ, 8 MB of Cache with Intel card 530 chart, 16 GB of RAM and Nvidia Quadro M1000M with 2 GB memory GDDR5).

The laptop will be used primarily on location shoots and holidays when photo editing on the go in Lightroom as Photoshop.  I'll still wait to process completely on my PC at home (with calibrated EIZO screen).  But as I still have a lot to travel with, I want to make the computer as light as possible.  That's why I was looking at the XPS13, but this is not a dedicated GPU...

That's the real question...  Do I really need to use the GPU acceleration in LR, so I'll buy a 15 inches, but otherwise, I go for the much less expensive (and MUCH lighter, XPS13).

I am forward-looking and want to buy a machine that will last me for at least the next few years of 4/5, but I don't want to break the Bank if I have not...

Any advice is welcome!

If your laptop computer has a screen HD (1920 x 1080) or the surrounding area, you can use a GPU integrated on the motherboard, or even low range GPU.

The only time you need a GPU is if you found a 4K or larger screen high range.

This statement is for Lightroom instruction only. If you have other software, you can have different needs.

    It can also be a problem with the game running through Facebook server.  I noticed a difference in great step lately with Farmville on Facebook compared to when I started playing.  You should check to see if it seems to be the same on the other PC.  I noticed the problem on several machines in different places, so I know that it was not limited to a PC.

  • I NEED HELP TO CHOOSE A NEW LAPTOP!

    I recently bought a HP laptop, and in the first month, it was returned three times for problems and different issues.  After countless hours talking with the staff of the it Department got the opportunity to get a new laptop.  The only problem is that they do not have the same laptop I purchased available.  Mine has the following: AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core processor TK-57 and 512 (1.9 GHz), 250 GB HDD, Super Multi 8 x dvd = r/rw Double layer, 4096 MB DDR2 SDRAM, Vista premium (64-bit) and everything else he HP come with.  It's a dv2941se.  HP wants to give me dv4t with: (32-bit), 2.0 GHz processor, 3 GB memory, 320 GB 9200 graphics card hard drive, same primary super multi 8 x, HP HDTV hybrid Tuner, a high capacity cell 6, and then all the rest of the normal devices for the computer.  I need to know if it's a good thing and a fair trade.  I don't know what to do!  I don't like that they me downing to a 3 GB and do not allow me to get even a special edition.  Help, please!  I HAVE UNTIL MONDAY MORNING TO MAKE A DECISION.

    The T6400 is a processor Core 2 Duo is a 64-bit processor, which is an improvement of AMD. We have a guy who post here a little which I believe can work for AMD and he can jump in and challenge me, but the Intel Core 2 Duo processor is faster at the same clock speed, cooler, quieter and has longer than AMD. 3 concerts vs 4 is not really a big deal except that now you mix a stick of 1 gig and 2 gig stick and you will lose support for memory dual channel and Vista 32-bit vs 64-bit Vista will be actually more compatible software and devices, but is a little slower than 64-bit. I think overall you did a side passage or improving slightly, however, simply by the fact you get a current generation machine. The new laptops HP dv5, dv5 dv7 series beyond the problems that plagued the series dvxxxx. And most of the problems in this series were the AMD models. You may not use 4 GB of RAM, unless you get the 64 bit version of Vista, in any case, but it is better to have 2 identical, memory sticks so that it works in dual channel so 4 gigs is better even with a 32-bit of Windows that uses only 3. Do they not have to offfer you with 4 GB of RAM? If this isn't the case, you could update these days for like $25.

  • Brand new laptop does not come with disks of windows, I need to reinstall windows what/where/how do I?

    I bought 2 new laptops. Both come with Windows already... so, if I need to reinstall windows... How/where/can do?

    Hello

    For future reference, these are VISTA forums you want on the new laptops in.

    I suggest other questions about these laptops you ask in the correct Forums.

    Here are the General options of relocation for you:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    See you soon.

  • I need to create a recovery for my new laptop file if there is a resumption of HP

    I just bought an HP Pavilion Notebook PC 15 15 - n219 his

    Series: [redacted for privacy]

    Product #: F9U67EA #ABU

    There is a recovery partition.

    I'm a little confused on the question of the creation of recovery files. I found the instructions on youtube on the creation of an image of the laptop, but I wonder why I need to do as it is a HP Recovery Manager.

    Although I don't really know what did the Manager.

    Can someone tell me what the best strategy is about recovery for this laptop files taking into account the partition.

    After I did it, I want to remove macfee and install the Norton I bought it. I have to disable the macafee? If yes how can I do this?

    Can I remove the macefee to save space on the hard drive?

    If you can help with these questions that would be much appreciate.

    I gues, I want to just do the right thing with this new laptop and I can restore to avoid removing too much so that the savinbg space and have a protected machine.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You should definetely create a set of recovery media - this is your copy of the operating system.  An example of when you might need, it would be if you had to replace the hard drive - details on the creation of this can be found on the next document in HP.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

    About McAfee, you must uninstall that first before trying to install Norton - you can do this in the usual way by opening the Control Panel, open programs and features, right click at the entrance of McAfee and select uninstall.  When the process is complete, restart the computer before installing Norton.

    Kind regards

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Need help to make my printer work with the new laptop.

    I just bought a laptop ACER Aspire V5-571. At the Windows experience index. Intel (R) core, 64-bit. My current project is gettting my 2005 Dell all-in - one 944 to work with my new laptop. I passed on the line and installed the recommended driver and used the printer to scan a document I then sent an email, but for some reason my computer any it will not print a page from an online account. Keeps saying needs of troubleshooting and I need to download the driver, which I did, a Vista 7 64-bit-compatible driver. How can I make this work? or what other driver or update do I need?

    It seems that Vista drivers are the latest Dell has provided.  I noticed that, they say, you have to install all the drivers for this device before installing the Vista (s).  I found the link depending on whether you should check out

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?&docid=270659&doclang=en

    Some older printers have no Windows 7 drivers, but usually the work of those of Vista.  If they are not, you can use XP mode if you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate.  If you have the Home Premium version, you can use him anytime upgrade to professional for $90.  Of course to buy a new printer is always an option too.

    As you probably know, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide drivers.  Many manufacturers have refused to provide any Windows 7 drivers for older devices.

    Good luck.
