Thanks for the answer Hoogle, though most of that seems to be Greek to me! I'm not sure what all you guys use Photoshop for. In my case, I'm an author, so my main software is my writing program, Scrivener, which is also a RAM hog (why is it all the good stuff seems to be?). It's one of the reasons I upgraded my RAM to 12GB, even though it wasn't really giving me an issue (yet). My tablet with the 4GB RAM really lagged when using Scrivener, especially if something else happened to be open at the same time. And I really need a physical keyboard; writing on a touch screen is a bit problematic! LOL

My Photoshop use is for making book covers and promotional pieces, so it's not AS important as my other software, though it's very close. So it seems like maybe a Surface Pro would be my next better upgrade? I was actually looking at them late last year because I was planning on purchasing a new unit with my income tax return this spring. I didn't expect to get a laptop for Christmas, it was a nice surprise, and the Asus is working very well for me. But I think I would have an easier time doing certain things in PS if I had a touch screen.
