Hello

A few months ago, you asked your interlocutors on this site to give them an example of a configuration for a graphics workstation; What I'm interested in.

Also, if you would like to tell me for about 1000€ off-screen a list of equipment in line with these parameters  below, I thank you in advance.

I use Photoshop CS6 and lightroom4

OS: Windows Seven 64-bit

Question:

Why a workstation for named software (I use Photoshop CS6 and lightroom4)? 

What are your CAD software?

What is your recurring work?

A fixed, portable station with a fixed top screen

see among others the link posted by @ Tomalam

 

@+ ;-)

for "photo editing" type software, CAD workstations are not mandatory.

the question is whether you use your station only for this purpose or whether you also use a CAD software.

That being said, Yves is also very knowledgeable in photography and will therefore also be able to guide you.

Hello

I'll take care of it very quickly :-) (i.e., before the end of the day)

So there you have it, for Toshop and for LR4 (or higher version), indeed, it is not necessary to have a CAD workstation. The cost of such a station would exceed your budget anyway (1600€)

 

I recommend this machine which will bring you appreciable working comfort.

I'm saying that, I'm not saying anything but for a graphic designer's machine, if I remember correctly, the configs under OSX (mac) are very much appreciated.

Today, although not approved by Apple (but nevertheless not uneven), it is possible to build a configuration worthy of a Mac Pro (or almost) with a rather weak bugdet.

If you're interested, just buy an OSX license and go to a few sites whose addresses I'll provide without any worries if interested, and select the components accordingly.

 

End of the Hs, good luck!

Good evening

to be macuser all my graphic part is done on Mac 

just for the record, even a second-hand Mac can surpass recent PCs simply because of the less greedy OS

for the price for strictly the same configuration, the Mac is cheaper because the OS is included. A Windows adds 150 to 500€ on a machine. 

FYI MacBook Pros from 2011 are not recommended for overheating problem
