Diqu Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hi! Guess that Affinity Designer may be the right choice for creating digital artwork? Will ARM 7 CPU, 16 GB memory, 512 GB SSD do the job? (PS panel) Input tool, which one do you recommend? Wacom? I do look forward to hearing from you, thanks in advance.

Diqu Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thanks @walt.farrell for your reply. Will Intel i7 do the job? With 16 GB memory, 512 GB SSD. I expect (hope) that AMD support will get priority on Serif's list. Best, Diqu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what Serif's priorities might be, and they seldom comment on future plans.

Diqu Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Thanks for the replies. I wanna specify the (minimum) hardware requirements of my next PC. Typo: ARM 7 > AMD Ryzen 7 CPU Any need for additional GPU? Input device: which one? Have a nice day, best regards, Diqu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
