    Hi there,


    I am looking to get a new laptop and I am deciding what kind to get. I am wondering which works better with Expression Studio 2, a Macbook or a PC. So if anybody knows some of the pros and cons of either I would appreciate hearing them.

    Thanks.

    I like the desktop idea too.  I just don't see how people develop on a laptop computer unless they have a separate, large monitor.

    I have just purchased a wonderful HP laptop with an i7 quad core processor, 6 GB on memory, etc. running 64-bit Win 7.  It is fast as ____ , and the display is wonderfully sharp--but that 16 x 9 aspect ratio is not ideal for much of the work I do. And it appears that all laptops now come with that type of display.  I suppose they are aiming them entertainment uses. So I am still developing on my slower desktop with its large 4 x 3 ratio monitor.  Perhaps I will replace it too in another six months or so.

    And if you decide on a laptop, you need to compare apples to apples.  Don't compare a cheap Windows laptop with a Macbook
