    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Name Dropper
    Yes it is, if you are doing intensive graphics work. You've yet to tell us what sort of picture editing will be required? What software is being used? There's a world of difference in the specs required to render multiple images in Photoshop, and the specs required to correct a few holiday photos in Picasa.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I'm unsure of which editing software they are looking at.

    Couple of questions about the product ordered.

    OS Windows® Recovery Media Not included -
    Can recovery disc's be made ?
    Why are none included?


    Widi - Wireless Display Application Not included -
    What does this mean?

    When the laptop arrived will it be ready to use straight from the box or will it have to be connected to the internet for updates? ie: drivers etc
