I really don't know anything about technology, which is why I wanted to know which technical data on the laptop for Photoshop etc. Are OK.

Is 8GB Ram enough to work without any problems or only possible from 16GB?

AMD Ryzen 5 3500U sufficient?

And which graphics card should I take?

Radeon RX Vega 10, Radeon Vega Graphics or Radeon Vega 8?

Which one would you choose and why?

I wouldn't use a laptop for something like that…

So I would, if it absolutely has to be a notebook, at least 16 GB RAM, a newer Ryzen 5/7 of the 4000 generation and a GraKa from Nvidia GTX 1660 or RTX 2070/2080.

It also depends a little on your budget. In addition, sufficient SSD storage should not be underestimated.

Yes, but on the PC I'm tied to my desk and it doesn't say which graphics card is the best.

Gu

Should have at least 2GB and DirectX12. Even my laptop has it and it's 3 years old… ^^^

Thank you, do you know if the graphics card would fit? So with the 3 laptops I showed

Qu

Unfortunately, I can only rate the graphics cards you mentioned using benchmarks, as they do very poorly in comparison to Nvidia cards.

However, Photoshop is not a program that should require too much GraKa performance.

What is your maximum budget, then I would look for a suitable notebook for you? 😊

ca

Up to 750 euro and thank you for your effort 😁

This one looks quite neat, but unfortunately it doesn't have Windows 10. You can buy it cheaply on many sites. In total, you would have to come here just over 800 euro.

Please do not save in the wrong place, the Ryzen 7 is a top processor! 😊

Thank you very much, is the graphics chip enough? Is amd radeon graphics good for Photoshop?

And how do you know which graphics chips would be good for Photoshop. No precise information on the graphics unit has been given on the page

ca

What is DirectX12? And the graphics chip doesn't say how much memory is available

Gu

That's an interface. And with every real graphics card it is actually very well how much RAM it has.

Qu

You don't need an incredibly good graphics card for Photoshop, most of the calculations run on the normal CPU. However, if you want to do 3D renderings, etc., you have to spend more money and look for a good graphics card.
