Hi guys,
I have been using Adobe CS2 (premiere pro and after effects) for quite some time now. I find that I am now traveling a bit more throughout asia and even africa this year. I wanted a smaller camera and got a Canon HF10 for portability, now I'm looking to upgrade my computer and Adobe software.
My question is: Will the either/both of the following laptops be able to handle Adobe CS5, editing AVCHD, some after effects and maybe a few layers of video for a project. If either, which is the better recommendation?
1. Macbook Pro, 15.4'': Intel Core i7 2.66GHz, 4GB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce GT330M with 512MB
2. Sony Vaio F115F/M: Intel Core i7 (quad core) 1.6GHz, 6GB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce GT330M with 1GB
I know that neither one of the graphic cards are under Adobe CS5's compatibility listing for the Mercury playback engine...will this mean that CS5 will be unusable on a laptop? Really need the portability.
Sorry if this has been discussed before but really appreciate your input!
