Laptop suggestions
Posted by Ben Hawkins on November 12, 2007 at 8:37 pmMy worked has asked me to find a laptop that I can use for video editing, capturing, and exporting. I will also be using it for motion graphics (After Effects and 3D max.) So I was just looking for any suggestions.
Thanks!!

November 12, 2007 at 10:18 pmJust get the hottest machine you can, with lots of RAM and Firewire.
Get XP pro, not Vista.
If you go to Dell, buy through their business channel. Their business support is much better than their personal support.
Anybody else?
