Hi there, designer 👋
I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving!
Time does fly when you’re having a great time, as they say 🙂
Next week is Black Friday and if you’re planning to upgrade your computer, this newsletter will come in very handy!
I hear this question all the time from interior designers -
“What’s the best computer for design work?”
It’s a tricky decision because there are so many options, and yes - even the best computers crash sometimes (we’ve all been there!). But you can absolutely make a smart choice that supports your creative workflow and saves you a lot of frustration down the line.
If you’re planning to shop during the Black Friday sales, here’s what to look for 👇
CPU (Processor)
Go for Intel i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9 - your multitasking powerhouses.
GPU (Graphics Card)
Choose NVIDIA GeForce GTX or RTX with at least 6–8GB VRAM for buttery-smooth renderings.
RAM (Memory)
32GB is ideal for SketchUp, Enscape, and AutoCAD.
64GB if you’re running multiple programs or rendering animations.
Storage
SSD (Solid State Drive) is a must - 1TB if possible.
Keep an external drive for backups (you’ll thank yourself later!).
My personal setup: I use 64GB RAM on my laptop and 128GB on my desktop - both MSI.
It’s the perfect balance between speed, multitasking, and reliability.
Choosing your next computer doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
You don’t need the most expensive setup - just one powerful enough to support your creativity and workflow. Read more on my blog linked below to go into deeper discussion to understand the tech part!
Also, keep an eye on next week's newsletter! I'll make sure to send some links your way - if I do come across hot deals.
