    Hi guys,:hi2:

    I am looking to buy a new laptop for basic photo editing in lightroom 5.
    I am a beginner hobby photographer like to share my pictures on flickr and facebook. I dont do video editing and i am not a gamer.
    Unfortunately, I am not knowledgeable enough about specs, or system requirements whatsoever and have had a difficult time. Is there anyone who can tell me what I should get ?
    Below is the link with a list of selected 15 inch laptops from a dutch online webshop
    Laptops - Laptopshop.nl
    Please help me to choose which is the best laptop for photo editing.

    Many thanks in advance. :)

    The Asus N550 have been a popular suggestion for me. They have an IPS screen so your pics will look real nice on them for editing. I would replace the HDD with a SSD for faster boot and program start up times.

    Asus R510CC-XX439H should be enough for most of your applications, but if screen quality is what you want then go for N550 due to IPS screen used.
