I am beginning in Graphics design and need to purchase Adobe Indesign Cs5 for a class. I am trying to shop for a laptop too. Went to Best Buy and the rep there said whatever I decide to make sure it is an 4G memory, i7 Processor and has NVIDIA. Now I am not the best at understanding what I need to have exactly, but I read the system requirements for Indesign and it specifies Intel Pentium 4, 1G Ram, but does not say anything about the graphics.
So, what should I buy? Do I need an i7 processor or can I go with i5. Also, does it have to be NVIDIA or can I have a system with Intel HD Graphics, or Intel Integrated graphics, or Radeon. I am thinking best buy is trying to get me in one for gaming...but, I'm not too educated on the issue, so I really do not know. I am not going to be gaming, I am only going to be using this for the graphic design classes............will have to purchase indesign, photoshop and others down the road.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
