The Ultimate Photograpy Laptop

ekhm ..... how much ? :popcorn:
 
Easy: get your own limited company to buy one and write it off over one year. This only works if you operate through your own limited company. Sole traders might try the same. Hard: if you work for someone else.
 
Available from early sept with a starting price of $2978.
 
The sad thing is you won't be far off with that price.

Not sure I follow you with this one? Whether you are buying it personally or through a company you will still have to pay the full price initially with the exception of being able to recover the VAT element if your company is VAT registered. How can you write it off in one year as your depreciation has to be reasonable to the expected lifespan of the laptop and at over £2K I don't reckon 100% depreciation is reasonable! hehe :)

I do this to save the VAT all the time, other than that, no real benefits for me. At the end of the day, it's still coming out my pocket.

Works a charm, especially if it's your company! :) I sometimes do it for the more senior employees at work as a kinda bonus/favour but the problem is that the equipment technically belongs to the company so I have to run it through disposals etc which could be questionable in the eyes for those lovely chaps at HMR&C - hence why I only do it sometimes! lol
 
Not sure its worth the cash to be honest, not when you can get a mac book pro or other equally top spec laptop that will do just as good a job.
 
Looks an impressive bit of kit but I couldn't see a battery life quoted. As impressive as it may be, if the battery doesn't last then it's just a piece of junk out in the field!
 
Too huge to be of any use as a portable editing solution. I'd take a Macbook Pro and a A6 Intuos3 over that any day.
 
I though it was the Macbook Pro which was the photographer's laptop of choice :P
 
:O Where's my check book? :lol:

I would love that laptop, Intel Core2 Quad hmmm yummy yummy :)

Have ordered two of those . . yeah, right (!). :D:cuckoo:
Blimey, I bet that would play Call of Duty 4 at a reasonable framerate. I'd give my left nipple - or any part of my anatomy - for one of those. :love:
 
The best photoshop laptop is a desktop :)
