Something I noticed was that in Affinity Photo, it looks like it’s frozen but it’s not. On the desktop, Affinity Photo was faster by 2 seconds. On a test where we opened 20 files, Photoshop was faster by 6 seconds on the mid-range laptop. It’s not much and you probably won’t notice the difference unless you’re purposely looking for it. On both systems, startup times were faster for Photoshop by a couple seconds. The second system is a high-end desktop with an Intel Core i7 6700K processor, 64GB of RAM, an NVMe SSD, and a Nvidia 980TI video card with 6GB of dedicated VRAM. One is a mid-range laptop with an Intel Core i5 5200U processor, 8GB of RAM, an SSD, and an Intel HD 5500 integrated graphics with 128MB of dedicated VRAM and 4GB of shared VRAM.
