kim_s Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I posted almost two years ago looking for a good ultraportable laptop for photo editing. I ended up going with dell's 700m, and I've LOVED it but it's getting old. I don't know that the newer models are quite the same. I've seen comments that the newer equivalent models don't have quite as nice of a screen for photo editing. So, I'm curious if anyone has used the m1210 for photo editing. Otherwise, is anyone else happy with another brand? -I'd like to stay around or under the 4lb mark, and under 14''. -Widescreen -Durable- doesn't need to be a toughbook, but I put my hands on one of the smaller Sony's and I was afraid I'd crush it.

kim_s Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thanks, but not ready to spend the $$ or go through the conversion to Mac yet. Perhaps once they come out with this rumored 12''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Taylor Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I've been using an IBM X series machine for the past couple of years. 4-6 months a year on the road and it's held up well. Screen isn't the greatest for photography, but I get by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars69 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Late answer, hope you still read it.... But I have a Dell D420. Weights only 1.3 kg or so and is really great to carry around with the SLR. 1 Gb memory and A core Duo processor (many other Ultraportable only have Core Solo). Only downside is a slightly sluggish harddisk but it runs any photography application just fine. In fact I used it with Vista as well for a while but went back to XP purely because I like it more. Good laptop for photographers on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_i Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 You'll get more per$ with a macbook (not pro, although the formula would apply to a high end PC book too) than a Dell at the 1000$ mark. The cost issue is an often repeated left over assumption from many many years ago. I run both systems... no uninformed bias here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
