[4] graphic design,using 'adobe cs3, corel x5 and xara pro 5'using it in a 32 and 64 bit environment with hot key functions, does everything that the expert mouse does plus 2 more functions... SlimBlade does not come with installation disk and there are more than two versions, so match firmware with model no. on bottom of unit.. it's a quality product from 'kensington', and the best place to get it from is 'b&h photo', because of great pricing...

[LCD] We purchased several ViewSonic VP2756-4Ks for general use in our university's Graphic Design labs. We have only used Apple displays for the past 20 years, but their limited options and high cost made that choice impractical. We did have a few beige ViewSonic CRTs back in the day which served us well. This model exceeded my expectations for this price point. The colors are vibrant, brightness is uniform and crisp. I wish the resolution/pixel density were a bit greater, and the option for hardware calibration would have been nice, but again at less than $500, I don't think that would have been possible. I like these well enough that I personally purchased one for my art-student daughter to use in her dorm.

[Parts & Labor] I don’t do any major work on this CPU. I do some graphic design, gaming on XBOX game pass, and some work. Great overall performance. Graphics struggled a little streaming Starfield with cloud gaming, but still very playable. I had an occasional glitch/lag but that could have also been the stream from XBOX cloud gaming. Everything else has been solid!

[54 Wh] This notebook was bought for everyday tasks at home, mainly internet , sometimes graphic design. works very smooth and fast. thanks

[Extended] My husband surprised me with an upgraded computer for my design work. I’m a freelance graphic designer and it gives me peace of mind to know that I can get the help I need if I encounter any problems with my equipment!

[Internal] This monitor is exactly what I needed in my graphic design work. Text is clear, colors are accurate and there is plenty of screen real estate for using programs like InDesign and Lightroom. For the last few years I've been trying to do design work on my MacBook Pro, built-in display. I'm so glad I finally bought an external display--it has made my workflow so much more efficient. Originally, I ordered the 2K BenQ270c but for some unknown reason (to BenQ and all others I asked) the text was terribly jagged and vector graphics in Illustrator were pixelated. If knew I kept that monitor I was going to have some major eye-strain and would have difficulty doing my job. How can I work with text if everything looks wrong? Did I get a lemon, have a MacBook Pro issue, or was 2K just not enough pixels--I'll never know! Thanks to the great customer service from B&H I was able to return the BenQ and buy the ViewSonic 2785-4K instead, which made all the difference. I had read that 4K monitors caused menu items to be too small to read, and that the extra pixels were unnecessary but that is not the case for me at all. I plugged in the USB-C cable and it immediately displayed at a perfect screen resolution for comfortable reading. My advice to graphic designers is to get a 4K monitor. Your eyes will thank you. I definitely recommend this ViewSonic 2785 4K if color accuracy is important to your job. The Adobe RGB space is perfect for the print work I do. I love this monitor for photo-editing, creating vector artwork and for layout/text work. Some reviewers mentioned that the documentation that comes in the box is not easy to understand, but I found a nice manual online that explained everything in sufficient detail. There are a lot of optional settings on this monitor which I find is a great plus. I wish I had bought this sooner!
