Laptop options for graphic designer (2d, 3d)?

Help, please, determine the parameters for the laptop.
What should they be ideally for a powerful laptop in graphic editors?
To powerfully withstand graphics processing (for example, I use the Adobe line: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign - 2d-graphics; video - Premier; 3d-max for creating three-dimensional graphics; + ArchiCad.)
What should be the parameters:
-- type (HDD\ SSD), interface (IDE\SATA) and size (in GB) of the hard disk
-- type (DDRx, where x=1, 2, or 3) and amount of memory (8GB minimum for graphics)
-- if you can see - quantity installed memory modules (for example, 2GB of memory can be obtained using 1 * 2GB, or 4 * 512MB sticks)
- video card
(Actual budget 500-600 $, up to 1000 can be)
Please explain exactly the parameters for a good working laptop for design, and there, based on the budget, I will select the optimal one.
1. Screen (preferably matte and 17 ", but not important)
2. MEMORY
2.1. The amount of RAM - at least 8 for such graphics.
Where in the description of the laptop to see the number of modules for memory and how many slots are expected? is it possible to put another module (up to 16 GB)?
2.2. The memory module itself. Now almost everywhere there is DDR 3 just with the addition of DDR3L, I saw DDR3U.
For example, DDR3L 1600 MHz. What should I pay attention to in this case? What does the number of MHz indicate and how much is needed
3. Characteristics of processors: what will be the optimal one ?
ideally read intelCore i7. found a budget option with i5.
and earlier there was an Intel Pentium B940 (2.0 GHz)
in general, what is the difference and what does it affect?
4. Interface (IDE\SATA). What is the difference and how to choose?
5. Video card. I don’t understand this at all, what are the parameters for different needs?
in my case - mostly adobe graphics, rendering 3d objects.
What is the difference between integrated and integrated video card? They say that the built-in one is weaker.
how then to look at the sites in the characteristics, what kind is it?
6. Type of drive - HDD or SSD .. ssd is ideal for power, in my case it will be just superfluous and a significant% of the price ..
The question is - is it possible to look at the characteristics - is it possible to put an SSD in a laptop, for example?
Previously, there was an Asus X54H laptop,
Was: Ram - 2GB, DDR3 1333.
HDD 320GB, 5400R SATA The
graphics were good for the first year, I flew with 3 editors enabled.
Now he is 2, 7 and he barely pulls 3 adobe products in RAM,
without the ability to connect memory above 4GB.
Now I found this budget one:
rozetka.com.ua/asus_x751ldv_ty135d/p1472512/#tab=c...
but I don’t know if there will be problems with it in 1.5 years
I would be grateful for the feedback!

best option = don't use a laptop

1. Screen - the one with which it is convenient to work
2. MEMORY
2.1. The amount of RAM - RAM for complex 3D graphics does not happen much.
2.2. The memory module itself. DDR3L is a low power RAM. As for the frequency for 3D editors on the Internet, I have not seen information, and therefore I can’t say anything.
3. Characteristics of processors. what would be the optimal one?
ideally read intelCore i7. found a budget option with i5.
and earlier there was an Intel Pentium B940 (2.0 GHz)
in general, what is the difference and what does it affect? The bigger, the better. Moreover, for 3D graphics, it also concerns the frequency and cores of the processor and cache.
4. Interface (IDE\SATA). What is the difference and how to choose? You should definitely not take a laptop with ide, because it is 100% firewood. The difference between sata2/sata3 for hdd is not significant. For ssd, sata3 is desirable.
5. Video card. I don’t understand this at all, what are the parameters for different needs? In Photoshop, you can shift some of the tasks to a non-video card and offload the processor, but this is not a mandatory parameter. In 3D processing, the video card must be able to at least draw the scene, but the built-in ones may have problems with this, and, again, part of the calculations can be transferred to the video card (some editors work only on video cards)
6. Drive type. An SSD for a laptop is a guarantee that if you drop it, then at least the information will remain. Purely in work, the SSD will not blow your brain with constant jitters of a crap system and an hourly opening of a browser with over a trillion tabs. For Photoshop, ssd helps if part of it is allocated for a Photoshop swap (not a system one, but there is such a thing in Photoshop).

Any of this ?
Processor i5 / i7
8GB and higher
Instead of expensive SSD, you can see a hybrid SSHD

Didn't find what you were looking for?
