edit on the go

I’m in the process of switching from using Microsoft Windows and I’m headed to Apple land… We have replaced our over four year old HP nc8320 laptop, and will be replacing our desktop in the coming months (waiting for Apple to update the Mac Pro).

I’ve used Microsoft product since MS-DOS 3.3, and have been a career IT person for over fifteen years (mostly as a server systems engineer designing mostly Microsoft systems), and while I will continue to keep up on MSFT stuff and continue to use them for the technology side of my work life, at home… I’m pretty much finished with Microsoft. While OS-X has some issues, it’s a far nicer system to use (all the power of UNIX with the best UI I’ve ever seen) especially if you want to do photo or video editing.

Gear in the Frame:
Apple 15" MacBook Pro
Core i5 2.4Ghz. CPU (not worth spending the $ $ on the Core i7, especially when this won’t be my primary editing machine and especially when 0 only buys me 10% more performance)
4GB of RAM (going to 8GB pretty quick)
500GB 7200RPM Segate Momentus XT Hard Drive (this is a great drive that comes with a 4GB SSD cache)
High Res Screen (but not the Anti-Glare screen, clients love looking at images on the glossy screen)

G-Tech G Drive mini 500GB Hard Drive
Wacom Intuos 3 4" x 6" Tablet
Gretagmacbeth Eye-One Display 2 Colorimeter
Calumet UDMA Firewire CF Reader
Apple Magic Mouse
Garmin eTrex Summit HC

Software:
OS-X 10.6.4
Windows 7 Ultimate (running inside of VMWare Fusion)
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
Adobe CS5 Design Extended
RoboGeo (Run under Windows 7 for geotagging)

brought my acer aspire in to our temporary office for the week. despite the small footprint, it’s proven itself well as a serious work machine (as long as i have a mouse with wheel, that is…can’t stand using trackpads). it’s also very good at giving me a comms overload: iphone with my private gmail, skype convo with darren who was working from home, microsoft outlook webmail client, and the omnipresent twitter…phew!
