Windows 7 Professional



This is my back up laptop. I use my desktop PC for everyday work. Not much work but editing images, watching news on Youtube, and Facebook.

I am an amateur photographer, shoot RAW & post process the files in Photoshop cc 2021, Adobe Camera Raw.

The screen of ThinkPad is too small, 39.6 cm (15.6"), for viewing images. I need a 55.88 cm (22") screen. I am thinking to plug a 55.88 cm monitor to the laptop.

How much more extra work load does the large monitor increase to the laptop? Will it cause any issues?

Your advices please?

Thank you.
