I've never been one for apple products, mainly because I'm just not rich enough however I was looking eagerly at the latest apple macbook pro that came out earlier this year but when it did I was quite disappointed with the specs.
Apple as a brand seem to be failing more and more each year so i'm looking to the future and have been trying to find a replacement for my old sony viao, which is coming on to 4 years old now.
A little background, I run a studio, I shoot photos and video and have pretty heavy expectations on my computer equipment. My desktop, which I built myself is getting fairly old too so I thought it might be an idea to kill two birds with one stone (perhaps)
I'm looking for a powerful laptop which could replace my desktop. It needs to have support to add monitors, D-GPU and enough RAM and SSD space on the main drive that I can install all the Adobe products I require. It should also have fast connections for external drives ad a screen thats sharp. I personally dont think full HD will cut it now days.
I'm also looking for portability, this needs to be a location laptop too.
The end goal is to have a clean laptop system that I can arrive in the studio, hook it up and be ready to run.
So the brief (cant be arsed to read the rest) version.
Laptops I've been looking at but unsettled
The other option I do have is to purchase a slightly less expensive laptop and put some spare money into the desktop I have, upgrade gpu. cpu and drives, maybe the mainboard and monitor too...
