Computers, Hard Drives & Network Storage

I have two computers, a desktop for studio use and a notebook for travel. I was about to buy a Dell desktop when my son-in-law convinced me that “we” could build a better DIY desktop. So…I’m now on my third DIY doing it myself. The latest one is detailed below. I love those two 30” monitors!! My notebook is a 13” Lenovo, its primary feature is small and lightweight for travel. It has 16GB memory, 1GB storage and a touch screen. I actually love the touch screen. I travel with and use two external drives. I don’t do any retouching on the notebook! Culling images, yes!!!
