Looking at finally getting a “good” computer for photo and video editing and wanting it to handle whatever we throw at it.
Specs That seem to cover the bases:
Intel Core i7
8gb ram (16 if I can work it in)
500gb-1TB SSD
Good graphics card (Nvidia 1070?) This one is a little complicated for me.
I’ve seen some that show both SSD with additional HDDs. Not sure the purpose of two hard drives...
I’d like a CD drive also, but they seem cheap enough now days not to be a big factor.
Computer will be used to run Adobe Photoshop+peripheral programs as well as either Adobe Premiere or Vegas Pro. Also going to be stacking photos from the telescope. Usually involves 200-1000 low quality frames being aligned and merged to creat one detailed photo. Individual quality is low but a ton of processing goes in to comparing quality, aligning, etc. Will use Registax or Autostakkert.
I’ve looked at some online options but curious what I could expect the cost to be if I were to build a desktop or possibly a laptop with similar specs. I don’t mind a desktop, but for imaging I really need a laptop next to the telescope for camera control. Could probably let the SSD slide and just go with a regular HDD to save some money if needed. Trying to keep it around $2K.
