It's not about playing Halo. I think he was getting at being able to sling P2 and slice the footage as well. A new Core2Duo would be great for such a thing, possibly eliminating the need for an indie desktop PC station.I just use my Dell laptop for offloading, but it could it could stand a ram and hard-drive upgrade; amongst other things.

Might want to keep your personal comments off the boards.

I don't play games on my computers, laptops or otherwise. In fact we don't own and have never owned any computers games at all.

So I don't know the first thing about what "Halo" is, and why it's germane to this forum on hardware for HVX200 use.

My comment was in reference to your comment about a celeron 1.6 - - "this thing is fast."

All I stated was that it wasn't a racehorse in comparison to the core duos and CD2s. And it isn't. It is significantly slower, and editing, especially with DVDCPro HD footage is problematic.

Again, I don't appreciate personal comments.

Thanks and keep it professional.
 
Whoa! Inter-David conflict!

Anyway, I don't know about heavy effects, but a 1.5 GHz Powerbook handles basic DVCProHD editng (e.g., cuts, fades, etc.) without much problem. Would a Celery M be that much slower? Certailnly no desktop replacement, but maybe good as "cheapest best" (whatever than means) for the field...

In any case, TigerDirect has some similarly-specced laptops on sale for about $400...

How could anyone actually get worked up by this comment?

Calm down, maybe for him the thing is fast enough for what he wants to do. Don't apply your personal needs for a fast computer to others.

Hey, no problem.

I guess I react strongly about responses that assume things that aren't there.

Let's move on.

In any case, why can't I find a quality CD2 with a 12 inch screen, PC Card slot and made by Sony for less than $1200.00?
