LapBook 12.3 Photoshop after SSD upgrade?

[Chris G]

I ran it on my lapbook 12.3 it’s okay, little slow just only good for minor editing, filters, and layers. Your best bet would be the Thinker i35 if you can. 8GB of RAM and that Core M3-7Y30 is a lot more powerful.

The touch screen will also be useful.

If you order with the free mail, it should come tax-free to the UK. Or ship to HK. Not sure who does.

Thank you Chris. I was going to order the Thinker, but it seems there are issues with the i35, reports of screen flickering, keyboards and trackpads not working properly. And the casing not being very hard wearing compared to other alloy bodied notebooks. I have to admit that worries me a lot. Hence why looking at the Chuwi. Its a lower amount of money to be risking. over half as cheap. yet still with a 2k screen. Its a shame that i don’t know when the new Chuwi LapBook Air is coming out, as it seems a lot closer in spec to the Thinker. compared to the 12.3.

I would not use a Chuwi LapBook 12.3 for editing purposes. It really is lame for this demanding tasks: Geekbench gives it only 1400/4000. My NUC 6i3, which I use for photo editing (DXO Optics Pro 11 for RAW files), has 3110/5980. My MateBook with a M3 and only 4 GB RAM came in with 2632/5197.

But of course the Display of the Chuwi is excellent for showing final pics to others.

I concur with Albert Voss. I own a 14″ with ssd and Photoshop (old version) and am happy with it. Works fine. Only the keyboard, when typing sounds like drumming on a tin can, is a bit disappointing.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I ended up opting for the Cube Thinker i35, gearbest had it up for £385 on offer, so I couldn’t resist. I just hope it arrives in one piece and works fine. Overall it should be more satisfactory for basic photoshop etc.

After upgrading your LapBook 12.3 with a new SSD, you might find significant improvements in Photoshop’s performance. The SSD’s faster read and write speeds compared to traditional hard drives can lead to quicker file access, reduced loading times, and a more responsive experience when working with large images or multiple layers. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for resource-intensive tasks like applying filters for cable wakeboards, saving high-resolution files, or running complex editing processes.
