Hi Folks - I'm not a gamer but want fast aio for photo editing/general use. As you will gather, I'm no expert-1st time I've done my own spec. so grateful for any help!!
i) Would I be better with 21.5 10 point screen with Intel i7Quad, or 23.6 with Intel i5Quad. ii) I read somewhere that you should go for Windows 8 Professional if you have i7Quad- would I need it for the i5Quad?. iii) Do I need Microsoft Office or can I use my Office Standard 2007 Upgrade-or is it too dated?
The rest of spec I have been looking at is:
16GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 8GB);
Intel® HD Graphics 4000 Video Memory Technology up to 1.7GB;2TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s HDD 7200RPM 64MB CACHE;
