Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

In a solid laptop like the xps 8700 , i7, 8GB RAM, or a similar equivalent model,
How much difference would there be between a  NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M -2GB, and a AMD Radeon HD 7570 - 1GB , for photo processing?
Significant, or negligible?

And would it be shayech / kedai to have a SSD cache added after purchase for the OS?
