I’m looking to buy a good laptop for editing w/ FCp….how’s the 17” 1.67GHz G4 SuperDrive?
Is it worth it to get the 17″? Can anyone lend an opinion on editing w/ laptops? Should I spend the money and get the Paton Manning of laptops?
thanks

It works great; put in the max for RAM (but don’t pay for Apple’s RAM, way too expensive, get Crucial’s), get the big 100G drive, get a second monitor to use when you can (17″ looks pretty small next to a 23-24″ LCD) , do a search in this forum, it’s been discussed dozens of times probably (even this and last month).
