I have a laptop at the moment and I know some don't like laptops for photo editing but I have used one for years with no problem. My wife (nurse) has a chance of a laptop with her work and the best choices I can see on there are below but I cannot decide between them.
They are both powerful enough but I just wondered about the display and colour accuracy. From what I can find online it seems the MSI is pretty good but the HP has an IPS display which I read are good
