[QUOTE="iRobot, post: 203933"] [b]Aperture 1.1 on MacBook Pro[/b] Hi, I've started a similar thread in the MacBook Pro forum, but someone (thanks Le Premier, [I]ton aide est la bienvenue[/I]) told me to try here. I'm a photographer, and I have a Nikon D2X. Whoever knows this camera also knows that the raws are quite big (20Mb). I was until now a PC user, but Aperture has seduced me. I intend to buy now a good laptop to run it, along with photoshop and some other design software. The laptop will probably be, as you can guess, a 15" MacBook Pro, unless the still-to-be-released high end MacBook meets my needs. I will go for the 2.0Ghz/256VRAM/1Gb RAM, and then add another 1Gb RAM . The 17" will be worth the wait, just in case, but it'll probably be too big for me. My questions are: How does the MacBook Pro handle Aperture 1.1? I'm talking about speed. How big is the improvement in speed when dealing with jpegs instead of raws? Does adding a second monitor slow the computer down in any way? (It would be a 20" or 23" Cinema Display, the 30" is too much € for me). For an Aperture-Photoshop work, do I need a workstation or is the MacBookPro powerful enough? (it'd be great to save the cost of the workstation and just add a 20”!) I'd specially like feedback from someone who has/uses the same or a similar setup (D2X+MBP+Aperture 1.1) Thank you very much... [/QUOTE]
