Hello all
I have a clunky windows-7-running PC at the moment, that sometimes appears to run on geological timescales.
I was thinking of upgrading anyway, as it won't run the latest version of photoshop. But now my Microsoft Office suite won't run on it, either, so rather than fork out for Windows 10 on my existing thing, when any new computer I buy will come with it, I've decided to get the replacement now rather than in a few months' time.
I want it to run the latest version of Photoshop - tech requirements here (and copied at the bottom of this post). I'm aiming for the 'recommended' spec, not the minimum, to give a degree of future-proofing, but won't be needing to run a 4k screen.
I think this computer meets the requirements, but as I know bugger all about how computers work, and the two descriptions appear to use different terms for the same thing in places (like SSE4.2 - does an i7 processor do that??), could someone who understands these things tell me if the Dell will do the job? I did have a look on various websites, but couldn't find anything else that seemed to make the grade (at least, not without paying £1000s).
