Mini Laptop For Graphic Design by Emmex45(op): 2:17pm On Aug 22, 2022
Please I need suggestions
I want to learn graphic design but at the moment, I can only afford a mini laptop of 30k. I just want to use it for a start and in a short while, I will upgrade.
Please I want to know
Can a mini laptop assist?
I only need adobe illustrator and photoshop, will both of them function on the laptop?
Please can you refer to me a good mini laptop for 30k

I will highly appreciate your suggestions.

Check Jiji you might be able to get one sef.
But e fit no be good spec.

Be advised that Photoshop and illustrator are RAM intensive, I have 8 gig ram with 1gb video ram, still photoshop slows down. However, you will want to stick to photoshop CS6, don't try the Photoshop CCs oh f you no want headache. Get something with wth 4gb ram.
You might be looking at some cheap ones on jiji, search for them, and filter the price. You might be lucky to see one that'll suit your need at that price. I know that feeling!



Sorry my words no dey well structured this afternoon, My food never done lol

I made the mistake of buying one last December (because my main computer doesn't have battery and the battery is half the price of the laptop).
30k laptop is for typing and as he ⬆⬆⬆ said; watching videos.

Browsing is too slow because the browsing app is not compactable. Many other simple apps would NOT even install. I use mine 100% offline for typing. Honestly, a 20k android phone is better than it. So save up and get a better laptop that you can use for the next 10 years.

Basically, it is unrealistic to think you can do graphic design with 30k mini computer.

For 30k, it would probably be 1GB (RAM), but he could get luck and see someone that is very broke or stole a laptop.

4GB RAM is excellent. The others might have limitations and you might regret it (based on the purpose for buying the system). There must be someone that urgently need cash so good luck.

Try Cs6! But as someone said at that price, you fit no get better system. However, you can try photopea website to design online. It's like photoshop, but online. It can even work on a tablet. And you can use Figma for logo. I've seen people use it lol
