Hi all, I'm hoping for advice on a desktop computer. I need to be able to run Photoshop and possibly Illustrator - maybe very rarely inDesign. I've been doing an illustration degree which I'm finishing soon and hoping (lockdown permitting) to go on to a Textiles Design MA in September. On the open day they said the programs would be Photoshop and Illustrator - I know from the degree experience that my old laptop cannot handle these programs. I can't see me using inDesign after the course so could probably get away with just using the uni computers for that.
I tried googling desktops but in all honesty I really don't know what I am looking at - prior to doing this my main computing need was that kids could play Sims but they wont be allowed on this computer. I need something that will last me a good few years. I don't mind what the case looks like just that I can use those programs and a monitor with reasonably true colour display - doesn't need to be huge, I don't have a massive work area. My budget is ideally around £800 but could go a bit higher if I absolutely had to. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you.
