Hello.

I shoot mostly bird photography, but dabble in other wildlife, landscape and macro mushrooms, moss and lichen.

My current laptop is outdated, stuck in windows 7 and cannot handle my raw images.

I'm looking to buy a new one, on a bit of a budget.

Can I get some raves on what you use and some laptop brands to look at?

I've checked a few out and the store employees always push for gaming laptops for the better resolution screens. Is that just an upsell or is that the better option for quality?

Thank you all for your time. :)
