Find me a laptop and desktop please

[Camble]

Following on from my being ripped off thread, I've decided I need to buy a good laptop.

Basically I'm a graphic designer studying at uni, I work for an agency and I also work from home so I need a good quality laptop that will step up to the mark and allow me to be mobile.

I use Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign primarily.

I've got a budget of £800 really, but I don't mind spending a little more to get a top quality machine that will last me.

I've looked into the option of buying a mac, but I also code sites that I design so I really need a windows machine.


In addition I'm looking at spending a few hundred on a desktop machine, this is for my Grandad who only really uses basic desktop publishing software and browses the net.

Like me he doesn't mind spending a little bit more on a good computer but it's pointless spending a fortune on a high powered machine that will not be utilised properly.

He already has a screen etc so he only needs the tower.

Thanks in advance guys

Used MacBook Pro from Apple. Normally an ex-demo, but they're perfect.
Bootcamp.

You're a designer like me. You have no excuse.

If you build the tower for your grandad you will be able to get a decent more than sufficient one for £200-£250

MacBook Pro for you. As you're a student you get a hefty discount.

Buy a 1st gen iPad for your Granddad. Super simple to use.
