    Hello all,

    I need a business notebook to run office applications and also Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5.

    Do you think Intel Core i3 2310m processor will be enough for those purposes?

    Thanks.

    The processor is more than likely just fine, but you probably want to re-think getting a laptop with a screen as poor quality / resolution as the one in the 4530s. 15.6" 1366x768 screens make things onscreen large (limits general multitasking and limits the number of images you can work with at a time and the maximum image dimension before you have to zoom/scroll) and generally have low contrast ratios that render any sort of color-accurate work impossible (and are also quite noticeable in everything you do)

    What's your budget and what country are you buying from?

    Hello edit1754,

    Thanks a lot for reply.

    I live in the Czech Republic and my budget is $700-900.

    So would you recommend another model?

    Thank you.
