And for those times I am home I can use my external speakers.I don’t need touch screen, I have used it on friends’ laptops and it is cool, but not a necessity. I also use headphones when editing so even though it would also be a benefit, great speakers are not a requirement. When travelling my laptop is plugged in 99% of the time, so a long battery life, while awesome, wasn’t a huge selling point.
However, I wouldn’t look at any laptop with a screen less than 15”, no matter how light, as that is too little screen real estate.Ī few areas where I wasn’t so demanding – and this opened up my choices significantly – were battery life, speaker quality, touchscreen and a 1080p max resolution. I wanted something I could slip into my camera backpack without adding a ton of weight. One of the main features I was looking for was portability. I went into my research as unbiased as possible, just looking for the laptop that would suit my needs and budget best. There are many fanatics on both sides of the OS debate who will happily tell you why Mac is your best bet and many others who support getting a PC. Both OS’ worked fine and had their own sets of benefits and drawbacks. At my last job I worked on a Mac Pro tower with OS X Snow Leopard and at home my old laptop was a PC with Windows. In regards to the PC vs Mac debate, I am operating system agnostic. So what was I looking for in a laptop? After suffering for years with an underpowered and frustratingly slow laptop, I decided to treat myself (a head nod to Parks and Rec fans) and get a laptop with decent RAM, a fast processor and a graphics card optimized for Adobe Creative cloud as I do most of my work in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Lightroom.
The performance is awesome and I would definitely buy it again. After exhaustive research and after using my laptop for the past two months I am very happy with my choice. I am often editing in a hotel room, so I need a computer that I can take with me and get still get a lot of work done. If you are like me and travel quite a bit and need the ability to edit while abroad or edit on location far from your home, this post is for you.
