I only know Apple equipment. I used a 13" MacBook Pro (2013 and 2014 versions) as well as MacBook Air (2016) for some time. All did a fairly good job, the Pro models a bit better due to their better graphics cards. Lately, I'm transitioning away from using Adobe products and using an iPad

Thanks Larry, Some test program as you suggest could do. But why getting files from the web and not just files from my K1. Maybe HDR to make it even larger. My catalogue is quite big, around 45k. I noticed that importing 20 K1 files takes a certain time, than if I delete them from disk,and

Where do you find your present laptop to be a bother? If it is only when you import or export, then it would seem that the key design element you need to look for is fast I/O bus, USB-C or Thunderbolt 3. And then, yes, test as you suggest. But I don’t know how such a test would tell you

What I'm thinking is that AMD has faster more efficient processors than Intel at the moment.  As to laptops, I custom built myself a desktop a few years ago and it still meets my needs so I don't have any suggestions about that. I will state for the record that my desktop is built around an
