“Is this a good laptop for photo editing? As in running Lightroom and Photoshop simultaneously (and smoothly)? Can it handle large tasks like panoramas?”

I DO NOT recommend for multiple reasons. I just wrote my review which will take a few days to post, however, I purchased this laptop specifically due to it having the dedicated graphics card because I work on Photoshop and do graphics work on a frequent basis. (I do not use Lightroom, so I cannot speak to that aspect), however the color quality is not what you will want when natural and accurate coloring is essential. I am only running PS Elements on this computer & not the master program, sometimes it runs smoothly, other times it has hesitations and freezes. The panorama question would depend on what you are doing with it, but due to quality issues as well as deplorable Dell customer service and not abiding by their own warranty (I have had nothing but problems since I got it only 6 months ago), I would strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Personally, I won't buy a Dell again.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
