It is 64-bit, comes with 4GB (upgradable to 8GB) & Windows 7.
The down side is the processor speed is only 1.8 GHz. The price and everything is very attractive but 1.8 GHz seems slow.

My questions are:
-Is this a good laptop for graphic design and heavy web usage (no gaming)?

-And what is better, a 32bit laptop with memory that max’s out at 4gb but has 2.3 ghz processor or a 64bit laptop that max’s out at 8gb and has 1.8 ghz processor?

Graphic Design is one of the career choices I’m currently thinking about, but I’ve been told that there are not many job openings in the future, and the job doesn’t pay well.
Is that true?
Thanks.

It came with Corel Essentials 4, Adobe Photoshop Essentials, and Niki Photoshop.
I really like the Corel, but I was wondering what other great software there was for a beginning artist and graphic designee.

I do great on Corel Essentials, but I would like something with a bit more effects and something where you can change the fluidity of the brush and paint.
