embrasse-moi Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hi, What is the recommended computer for use with affinity designer? In the past we have used Adobe on macbook pro. It would be nice to use a lighter computer, like the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted August 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hi, My recommendation would be "any Mac with at least 4 real processors" - so a MacBook Pro (15") or similarly specified iMac.. Affinity uses CPU much more than GPU - so pretty much any Apple GPU is fine. So, 4 real CPU cores, and ideally an SSD (if your work will use lots of bitmaps). I use (and have mainly developed) Affinity Photo on a "MacBook Pro 15" (2015)" and earlier on a "MacBook Pro 15" (2012)". Both machines were excellent. Hope this helps, Andy.
