I have never had a laptop or any sort of portable computer, my home machine h= as been an iMac for the past 10years. My current imac has just died and I'm n= ow thinking about replacing it with a MacBook Pro and a big monitor. In the past I have worked from home considerably but currently I do very lit= tle work from home, and so having a powerful desktop machine seems a bit old= fashioned. The portability of a MacBook versus an iMac is very appealing. S= torage is not an issue because I already use an external storage system anyw= ay. Any thoughts on the pros/cons of working with AE on a laptop- specifically a= retina MacBook Pro - versus an iMac? - Chris=20 Sent from my iPhone=
