    Macbook Pro for editing?

    Posted by Brian Dugan on August 16, 2007 at 1:30 am

    Anyone have thoughts on working on a new intel 17″ Macbook Pro with 4 gigs of ram, 160 gig HD and 7200 rpm processor?

    I am hoping/planning on moving from an older G5 tower to a more mobile situation.
    What are the upsides and downsides?

    I will be using Premiere Pro, After Effects, Maya and Photoshop.
    Most of my work is short format under 5 minute pieces but maybe a possible longer piece here and there. All for DVD and web delivery.

    Thanks

    Brian

    Also, make sure you buy an external hard drive to capture the video on. Safer for your computer and you have the ability to use someone else’s system if yours goes down.
