Laptop specs?

[mark_ryan2]

<p>The last post I saw in the archive for PC laptop specs is from 2006. I'm currently using DPP and PSE3. I haven't been paying attentoin to the harware and software for the past two years, just been shooitng the 20D. I'm looking to get a 1DsII or a 5DmkII and I'd lile to go wiht a laptop. Two small kids doesn't allow me to sequester myself in the office.<br>

I'm partial to Lenovo, but I could stand a Dell. The Lenovo's are just rock solid, and have one for my wife and one from work.<br>

I'm not looking for min specs, but what I should get. I shoot 4-8k a year. I don't know what software I'll run. I'll probably keep it in XP and not go Vista. Really interested in video capability, especially calibration.<br>

Thanks for you help,<br>

<p>OK, not the response you're looking for...but look at at MacBook (MacPro). I have both PC and MAC in my shop. The MAC laptop will blow the shorts off the PC, especially for vid editing. And the calibration with a MACPro is excellent.</p>

<p>If I didn't have tons of PC software, I would have the Mac. I do both still and video. On one of the Mac's someone made a full length motion picture. I don't think you could do that on a PC laptop.<br>

Like I said, go with the Mac, if you don't have all of the PC software. With the new Red One about to be released <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.red.com/cameras/" target="_blank">http://www.red.com/cameras/</a> you will need both photo and video editing software.</p>
