What to buy, laptop etc.
by chris gorman on Feb 26, 2009 at 2:22:56 am

I need to have some portability, so I'm looking into getting a 17" MacBook Pro, configure, and add any essentials for my fcp editing needs.

When not traveling, I'll be editing on a PowerMac G5 or MacPro. I'd take some projects on the road with the MacBook Pro.

I already own fcps2 which I use on my MacPro, and will install it on the MacBook Pro.

I've never owned any kind of laptop and have not used one for fcp editing. So, I'd appreciate any input re: suggestions for what I should think about getting as far as configuration, external hard drive, etc.

For the most part the projects I'll be working on with the MacBook Pro, will be a large number (over time) of short videos, less than 15 mins. each and outputting to dvd.

PowerPC G5 DP2.3, 4GB DDR SDRAM, ATI X800XT, OSX.4.11, FCStudio2, Sonnet 5 Bay SATA (RAID or JBOD as needed), ACD 23" & Sony NTSC Monitor via Matrox v.1
