By jason - up to 2007 (archived) • Aug 21st, 2007 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)From Cnet:
“Whether a photographer, a graphic designer, or a DV filmmaker or editor, the Digital Artist in search of a laptop is willing to trade some portability for better performance and a large canvas on which to display high-res photography or HD video. A 15-inch laptop will suffice for many–particularly if you splurge and outfit your studio with an external display–but if you can stand the extra heft, a 17-inch desktop replacement provides a do-it-all machine for on-the-go artistic expression.”
Key specs:
- Screen size: 15- or 17-inch screen
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7500, T7300, or T7100
- Memory: 2GB or more of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 8000 series graphics cards
- Hard drive: 120GB or larger, spinning at 5,400rpm or 7,200
