I want a laptop to plug into a large separate monitor (21 or 23 inch) for processing large multilayer Photoshop and Lightroom files.
The ones on my possible list generally have a choice of 2 graphics cards (listed below). I think the 540 card might have a faster on board processor (?) but it has slower refresh rates and different non interlaced specs. Both cards have the same memory.
Anyone know which would be best choice to handle the large PC screens? I don't want to limit myself too much as this laptop will have to last for several years as its quite an investment for me. Thanks.
