laptop vs desktop

[Walter Biscardi]

HUGE difference in render times. Desktop will smoke a laptop every time, especially when you get into After Effects.

You in Atlanta? I was an editor ’90 – 95 at CNN Atlanta, primarily Environment Unit.

Thanks for the quick answer. I was thinking desktop was the way to go.

Yes, I’m at the CNN Center, since 1999. I post a daily news open in an Axial suite (vintage!). A big fan of Good Eats here–I’ve also been doing “kooky” video trix since 1995. Send any Good Eats leftovers down our way; we all post for food!

Holy Cow! Haven’t heard of an Axial in ages. Used to run an Axial 2010 with a Philips Diamond Digital 20 switcher at Foxwoods Resort Casino back in ’96. LOVED that system.

Glad to hear. It is a fun show and we’re lucky to be a small part of a great team.

there’s a performance test done; comparing MacBook Pro vs. PowerPC G5 (inlucing running Windows on Mac) at

See the comparison chart in the bottom.

Hope it helps

The MacPro has 4 cores, versus 2 cores on a MacBook. I have both and there is no comparison , the MacPro smokes!
