Hello there..

Which laptop would one go for if it were to be used for graphic design? As in designing logos and such. Price would be limited to around 12 grand.

Thanks
 
look macbook air nice
but when looking into finer detail with laptop graphics you must look for the something like
"2GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M graphics with Optimus"

Dell
Inspiron 15 7000 Series has the following graphics and i know nvidia good enough!

You registered to post this incoherent babble?
 
to add that mac book is more advanced but if your looking into to start with graphics design then its al about budget or am i wrong?
 
If there's no 3D stuff involved then I suspect a Core i5 with Intel HD graphics, 8-16GB RAM would do, preferably a fullHD display 15-17"

Try the following specifications (under R 12 000 and not an apple macintosh)

Intel Celeron i7-3500 Ghz
2.6 Ghz
MINIMUM 8 - 16 GB RAM
500 GB hard-drive
1MB Graphics card eg. Nvidia

I didn't have much fun with the Intel HD Graphics for using Corel Draw and Adobe Photoshop...

I'd prefer the Nvidia 1MB card.

A graphic design machine with 4GB of RAM? I don't think so. I'd say at least a 13" Macbook Pro with 8GB RAM, if you are going the Apple route.

If he can get an Apple Macintosh Pro with what you mentioned for under R 12000 - then yeah he should !

Currently I'm using both Adobe Photoshop and Coreldraw and struggling with the amount of Ram ...

Blame coreldraw. Who the hell uses that anymore? Illustrator and indesign are far less resource hungry. Well illustrator most definitely. Indesign can be heavy but photoshop is worse
