Laptop for running laser and graphics

Community Laser Talk

Hi all

I have to replace a laptop to run snapmaker ray and there are a couple available locally.
The Fujitsu Yoga i3 8th-Gen, 8/256gb (described as Very light, solid state drives) &
The HP 250 G5 i5 5th-Gen, 8/128gb (described as heavy, workhorse).

Both are around the same price and are said to be ok for general day to day needs but not big on graphics.

Neither would be for gaming and high demand stuff like that, but would they be ok for the kind of graphic work needed for lasering images and using program’s like Photoshop, ImageR and things like that.

If anyone knows these two machines or can comment as to suitability I’d apreciate the opinion as I havent bought a laptop in over ten years and am unsure as to what High, Medium, or day to day quality actually means.

All should run graphics programs fine.
Screen size is more of an issue in Lightburn.

Ah, good news as they are reasonably priced and screen size is 15" or slightly bigger. I also have a large pc screen sitting idle.
At least I can choose with confidence as they both will do the necessaries.

Thanks DsKall
