Hey thanks! Much appreciated

Thanks for your informative answer. Yes the budget is limited, and I need to rethink this. Thinkpads are def not gaming laptops, but for me they have been reliable all-rounders. I now use a X201 for SL.

Hello, I'm planning to buy a new laptop, preferably a refurbished one. I've used Lenovo Thinkpads for a long time, and plan to stick with them, if possible. Photography in SL is something I'd like to focus on, and I would need a laptop with a suitable graphics card so that I can use all the advanced shaders etc. I'm using Firestorm. I'm looking at used Thinkpad X250 or X260. They have Intel® HD Graphics 5500 or Intel® HD Graphics 520, respectively. Are these graphics cards enough for Firestorm and all the advanced options? If not, I have the possibility to get a new Thinkpad, E495 that has integrated AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics. That certainly should be enough for SL, or? thanks for your help
