Ultimately I figure I should be using a Mac Pro so I can eek out all the juice I can to run FCP, Motion and chew through HD material.
With the new MacBook Pros on the market, the new Apple ProRez 422 codec and solutions like the Matrox MXO have I now just dodged a bullet in HAVING to move to a tower? Or should I just bite it and get the Mac Pro with a proper RAID setup and a KONA card.
I know the simple solution is get both a new tower and a laptop and stop worrying.
Has anyone else gone down this path and have some suggestions?
