Hello, I'm purchasing a new laptop. Two models I'm considering have 1tb ssd, 16gb ram, 17 " 1080p ips Dolby vision display. Main difference is the graphics card. One comes with the 1660ti, the other the 2060. For my purpose as an amateur photographer, who would like to dabble with photo editing, can you recommend which graphics card I should go with. There is an + $80 difference in price for the 2060. I'd also like to think the card info with will not become obsolete in short time. Thank you.

Both Graphic Cards are strong enough for Photo Editing. The 2060 of course is superior but you won't make full use of it unless you are also running other more demanding workloads.
