I love working on my older 15" MBP. Bring the project to the studio to do the heavy lifting. PROS: portable, attach thunderbolt as necessary (storage/monitor), bring work anywhere CONS: expensive, not as powerful, bring work everywhere Ae, Pr and even C4D run well enough on it, but big renders should get ported to a desktop.

The portability of a MacBook versus an iMac is very appealing. Storage is not an issue because I already use an external storage system anyway. > > Any thoughts on the pros/cons of working with AE on a laptop- specifically a retina MacBook Pro - versus an iMac? > > - Chris > > Sent from my iPhone > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to
