(Second half of post above, becasue I can't cope with conversations in side notes when there's actually soemthing I need to say...)
So my reason for thinking of alternatives to a Pro tower is that it seems to be far more processing power than I need. I don't do animation, flash, Cineam4d, Actionscripty stuff or 3d rendering... Increasingly I just draw a picture in pencil, shoot it or scan it, and then color it up. Maximum file size is only ever 1gb for a layered A2 psd file.
Surely an imac or a Mac Book pro would suffice.
But then, I watch things like the video piece in Goldberg COsmetica (http://www.qbn.com/topics/58031... and think that I would like to know how to make things like that, and then I worry that if I ever get around to learning soemthing like Flash, I would have been better with a Mac Pro.
Anyone have any opinions on doing what I do on an imac or a laptop and screen?
- ^ Thanks for your comments above Max, typed as I typed this. You think an MBP would be okay then. Me too.Horp
- I honestly don't think you'll "feel" a difference. So it comes down to personal preference.NotByHand
- The new MBP with the new apple display is a NICE setup imo. (Works for me).NotByHand
- Cool, I feel myself heading that way more and more now.Horp
- I use a MBP for everything. I don't actually do anything but what I don't do I don't do an a MBP********
- What exactly is it you don't actually do Max? On screen? Print? animation? web?Horp
- print and web, and qbn.********
- just design, none of that binary talk********
