Current 15-inch MacBook Pro seems to be £2,349.00.
Rather you than me!

Being British I had to look up corn dogs. Sounds horrendous.
On a more serious note – how do you manage to do serious editing on a laptop, exploding or not? I’m a two screen person myself, and would have a third full screen monitor if I had room.

That’s a serious amount of stuff. Have you thought of using a different system?

Since he doesn’t need that useless PC any more, I’ll happily take it off his hands. As it will of course be free – terrible thing, rubbish – I’ll buy it an RTX 1080Ti.

I imagine that the big money for Nvidia is still in the consumer PC market – and maybe currently Bitcoin mining – so wait 18 months and you’ll be able to slot a GTX something into your editing machine at reasonable cost.

Baird too –
I recorded some work stuff on a phone a few months ago, because I was too busy at that moment to go hunting a proper camera. Big mistake. It doesn’t matter whether you spent £2 or £2000 on the phone, and record in 640×480 or 8k, physics says the tiny lens and tiny chip mean you aren’t going to get a high class result. Ok for YouTube, I suppose. I should have stopped and gone to get my favourite of the available cameras – a Canon XF305 – and done the job properly. I edited in Resolve.

I hope you held it the right way round

Thank you, good research material

PS – you paid £1000 for a phone? I got a OnePlus3 (phone of the year 2016 in some mags) and a trip for two to Marrakech for that much. Still, it takes all kinds.

71 last May.
I first sat down in an edit suite in 1977. Two 2″ machines – though I didn’t actually do my own operating till around 1996, on Eidos Optima. After that – Avid of various sorts, FCP from beta to 7, Edius, PPro and Resolve. I also tested large numbers of also-rans for the BBC.

One or more of us seems to have lost the plot – could be me as I’m the oldest.
I’m still interested in comments on my earlier request, in the light of what the OP wrote, whoever he was.
