Professional photo and video editors typically go for the most powerful machines they can afford, with prices ranging from about £1,500 to £3,000. Last week’s column covered the needs of a history student, who wanted a laptop costing up to £500. Do I have to get a Mac or is Windows a good option? Aileen I have a high-spec but old Toshiba Portégé that has served me well, but I’m starting an art course and will study photography so need a top-notch screen (perhaps touch screen?) and more processing power.
