desktop-replacement notebooks (was Re: [Digital BW] QTR/OSX/7600 -- upgrade report)

2004-10-04 by Sam McCandless

I changed Sanders' subject only because I'm more curious about how 
well various notebooks (Windows or Mac) work when used at the front 
end of the process. Especially in combination with a second display 
at home and with a digital camera when away from home or office.

As long as my old desktop works ok, I thought I'd use it to drive my 
printers and scanners. And maybe get a new notebook to use with 
Photoshop and a digital camera. As far as others have already figured 
out how this can best be done, I'm curious to know their conclusions 
about how well it can be done.

I'm uncertain which would be more valuable, a new desktop for 
Photoshop (CS/8 I'm assuming) or a new notebook on which I could see 
what a digital camera had captured before getting back home. It's not 
a space issue for me: my place is small, but I have room for either 
configuration on my corner unit because my printers are on a separate 
cart. I would, however, like to avoid buying both a new desktop and a 
notebook as well as a digital camera.

Thanks.
