I recently started working with a lot of clients that use the adobe suite, mostly illustrator. And wanted to get a laptop to work and move around with.

I’m trying to stay away from apple, seeing those prices for the storage they have I’m looking for another option.

I’m looking into ThinkPads but there are so many options I don’t know what would be a good choice, must have a good bright screen and a good keyboard.

    Do not get a Thinkpad if you’re using it for graphic design. The screen color calibration is terrible (even when compared to low end devices)

    Last I checked I think some of the Dell laptops have a decent screen (XPS, latitude lines). But they tend to be more on the pricer side.

        My T480 is my favorite laptop. But this is NOT one of its use cases.

        I had nothing but bad experiences with my xps. Two fan failures and now a battery failure in the last few years.

          i second this. I’ve owned 2 so far, the 2017 model and the refreshed 2020 model. Both have had their share of overheating issues, awful audio drivers (baked in wavemaxx sound “enhancement” that cannot be removed), hardware issues, etc. Would not recommend. The only thing they have going for them is they look so damn good

        The XPS my dad has is amazing, but I think it was significantly more than $1k, closer to $2k.
