Tom, I heard some info on the radio today about laptops coming from
China with back doors in them and key loggers.This sends you info
back to someone, maybe China. So be careful..Joe
I'm in the market for a new laptop to be used exclusively for photo
editing. Like most things, it seems when you're looking for something
very specific it's hard to find. A basic assumption I have is that in
many respects, the same attributes that make a gaming laptop desirable
would carry over to photo editing. Motion graphics of course I don't
really care about too much (except I'd also like to view blue ray
discs).
My basic requisites are (I think):
17"+ 1920 x 1080 display (non-reflective)
back-lit keyboard
Intel 3rd gen i7 CPU of some kind
2 hard drive bays with the ability to have both be SSD drives if I
decide on that route
Blue Ray player/combo drive writer (no need to write BR)
Windows 7 Professional
Minimum 16GB RAM
Last and probably least, but important, I really want a fingerprint
reader. My 5 year old HP 17" Vista (hate), dual-drive laptop has a FP
reader and I just like that convenience. It logs me in correctly at
least as many times as I type my password correctly. While in many
respects minor, I type in passwords surely 60+ times a day for work
and I'd like not to have to do that on my pleasure laptop.
I'd also like to not go over (wincing), $2500. I know in 5 years it'll
be worth $250.
I've checked out Alienware and Valkyrie and don't see FP reader
options. (I know it's silly. I could settle for facial recognition
instead). :)
