Digital BW, The Print

HI Mark,

I am using a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 - 1.7Ghz 1Gb ram 30Gb HDD 15" LCD,
CDRW/DVD Bluetooth/WiFi - though not as my main machine but this was bought
so when I go out and photograph I can use it to edit on the run.

Well, I don;t if you carry a big camera bag with you or not, but I got a
20Kg+ bag and when adding the laptop (which is a desktop replacement) it
really isn't fun anylonger.

It is great to have a home where I can move around the house and use it and
access my desktop or the internet through the wireless. I do edit some
photos now and then on it, but when it gets really critical (at least for
me) then I move over to my desktop which is far more powerful and has two
monitors.

Why Toshiba, because the make a sturdy machine and they make some of the
best screens for laptops - this machine also have a nVIDIA graphics 32mb
card in it, which does not use shared memory and it is reasonable fast.

if I were to buy today I would look at some of the new
TouchScreens/TabletPC's they seem really cool...but again it is early days
with them and who wants to be a Beta tester for them :-) so we will wait
till 2nd generation comes out.

So if you are not planing on moving around too much with this beast then I
highly recommend it

good luck

Henrik

Subject: [Digital BW] Anyone using a notebook PC?


Hi. Is anyone here using a notebook PC to edit digital images? I'm
considering making the switch from PC tower/monitor to notebook (for
space saving reasons) and I'd appreciate recommendations regarding
screen type, video card, etc. which you've found to work best.
Obviously there's a tradeoff in terms of quality versus space, so I'm
curious about how you've dealt with this tradeoff (e.g. relying more
on the RGB numbers than what the monitor displays). Thanks!

Cheers,

Mark
