Photographer transitioning from MacBook after 5+ years — laptop recommendations
Hi everyone! I’m a photographer who has used MacBooks for the last 5–8 years. I just got hired on as a freelance photographer by a company that requires their photographers to use a Windows laptop because of the software they rely on, which makes total sense 😊 (I am ok with switching! My Mac is starting to get old and I'm in the market for a new laptop!)
With that in mind, I’m looking for recommendations on a Windows PC. I’ve been considering the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 16" 2K Touchscreen because I’ve read that its display is very color-accurate and looks great for photo editing.
My requirements are:
• Windows OS
• Excellent screen for editing in Lightroom
• Under $1,000
What would you suggest? I appreciate all recommendations and insights!
