Hi all,
I'm new here and really just need some help, as I'm a video editor at a national company who is currently editing on a Lenovo Thinkpad E480. Spec is as follows:
I've sent my IT department an ideal spec of a desktop machine with a top end i7, big graphics card and fast RAM to help my days be more productive, but the E480 I'm using is only a year old and I think they're loathe to buy me another computer so soon. I am just looking for a bit of advice as to what you all lovely people - who are infinitely more knowledgable than me - think could be the problem, and maybe what an ideal spec would be for a good video editing workstation that won't give the IT budget, or myself, headaches going forward.
Many thanks for any help in advance!
