[Chandler Kauffman] "Wow a ringing endorsement! Why do you not recommend it?"
Too slow to properly run Color. You need a fast MacPro, faster drives than you can ever connect to a laptop AND you simply can't get the graphics card performance from a laptop. There is nothing on a laptop that comes close to a multi-core, multi-processor Mac Pro running a very fast graphics card like the ATI 4870.
No way to properly view your footage to a professional monitor (or even a regular TV) via a proper video card from AJA or BMD.
Last but not least, it's very stable running on a Mac Pro. We've probably now done well over 200, maybe 300 projects in Color now. Everything from feature films to 2 minute news stories. It's a very stable product with the correct setup.
I would edit all day long on a MacBook Pro, but never do a Color session.
