Hi all,
I use a laptop for WFH (excel, wordpress mostly and some photoshop work), and photoediting in my down time.
I've got three questions for anyone able to help - 1, thoughts on the spec, 2, a variation, and 3, storage.
My priorities are get as much RAM as possible and keep the budget down at same time.
Thanks in advance!

2. I was considering lowering spec somewhat to opt for i5 Processor and MX150 graphics card - I'm not a heavy user, so think this might suffice?

3. I've no idea what storage requirements I'd need, is one SSD enough?
Thanks for looking it over and any input is welcome!
