Rack Mount Studio

What is the best laptop for After Effects?

Q: I’m looking at buying a laptop to do freelance video editing. I’m accustomed to working in my full-blown production studio with rack-mounted gear and fibre channel RAID arrays, but I need something to take with me when I’m editing on the road. What’s the current buzz on this?

A: this is not a question of hardware but of software. i don’t know what you’re using in your studio, Windows or Mac based PCs.

if you’re familiar with Macs a Macbook Pro is what you need, in case of Windows based machines i would recommend a laptop with the best graphics card available (GeForce Go 7900GS/7900GTX/7950GTX), 2GB Ram is also a must and preferably a Core 2 Duo processor. Furthermore you should get the most powerful battery because laptops with these specs have a high power consumption.

Some suggestions (from cheapest to the most expensive) Dell Inspiron E1705, Toshiba Satellite P100, Dell XPS M1710, Sager NP5760. Sager isn’t well known but top end.
