I buy a new PC every few years and it’s that time again. Every time I do it I consider getting a laptop because I could take a laptop to conferences and client meetings and workshops. But I always end up getting a desktop because I need lots of power for what I do and the desktops always seem to offer more.
I do software development using VS2010, mostly in WPF. LOTS of 3D, often with several VS2010’s open at the same time. I also edit still images in Photoshop CS4 often with 30 or 40 layers in a file. And I edit full HD video files of several gigabytes. So (multi-) processor speed is critical, as well as bus speed and HD size and speed. (disk speed seems to be a big weakness on many laptops)
Has the time come when I can do these things on a laptop without spending lots of time staring at an hourglass?
Thanks for any comments.
