Hello evrybody and thank you for this very active and helping community :)
I am learning vvvv because i am working on a project like this one : ( i know it s not vvvv but OF but i am shire Vvvv can do that ! )
But i need a new machine and i would like to know if a laptop like this one can handle it ?
Otherwise i am from the mac world ( cause i also produce the music and mac works better on Ableton ) so do you think the new macbook pro 2015 with a bootcamp is working well ?
I also have a destok PC quite powerful so maybe i have to avoid laptop and stick with my destok PC ?
Thanks a lot for your time and i hope you can read my poor english i am french :)
you have no problem with the weight and carrying the monitor around
you have no problem with electric ground loop at the theatre. otherwise you will have to think about galvanic isolation.
you like the idea of being able to change components.
you need some ports to connects things to. this seems to be weak spot of a macbook.
If you want to go mobile nevertheless, you could have a look at the XMG-U-Series from Schenker. You can change graphic cards, and they have a desktop-CPU and some more ports for connecting things.
He already said it :
“You can change graphic cards, and they have a desktop-CPU and some more ports for connecting things”
A Desktop CPU is a lot faster. (i dont know how the Schenkers Cooling performance is though)
As from my experience (wich is mainly in Theatre) i always used Desktop Pcs(one was a Mac-Pro with win 7) and never had any electical Problems, my PC usualy was not the only one there.
Also if Price is an issue a Desktop PC is a lot better
And you can Replace parts/extend it if you want to reuse it for something else.
Even if you dont build the PC yourself you cant Compare the Performance of a Desktop to a Notebook.
This is not a very exact guess, but the Asus Notebook you linked would probably have the Same performance as a Desktop PC for a little more than half the price.
