I am a designer. I work in Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects. Actually the question is, will this magic box pull?
Does anyone have experience with this model? General impressions?

Answer 1

IMHO, 4GB of RAM is not enough already

Answer 2

4 GB internal memory LPDDR3 1600 MHz

I was also engaged in the selection of a working poasedneanoy machine. In the end, I decided to just replace the old HDD with an SSD. How everything immediately changed for the better :-) Now I can’t imagine how to take a new computer without this solid-state miracle. Working in graphic editors has become pleasant in terms of speed.

Answer 5

This machine is not upgradeable from memory, unfortunately. Here is her description. Pay attention to the following words:
In short, the memory is soldered tightly, no modules, upgrade is possible only upon purchase. But 4 gigabytes is not enough for your tasks. However, if the price is really attractive, you can still try to install the applications you need and drive the car before buying. Take the distribution kit you need for testing, install it, and go ahead. Agree with the seller to put three hours, no less, into testing. And you can’t buy a used computer without testing, this is obvious.
