[QUOTE="wolfpuppies3, post: 1431472, member: 174960"] Watch your budget. I just bought a New iPad, 64 GB, WIFI and 4G with Applecare for my wife. Just a touch over $1000. You won't get Photoshop CS anything on an iPad, only the really really light weight Photoshop Express. I have it and hate it. Not at all like Lightroom or CS5 on my MB Pro. You will not be processing photos on the iPad so think about what you need in a laptop and price them out. Maxed out 15" MB Pro Retina runs about $4K but you don't need Retina or, possibly, maxed out either. So you may be able to throttle down to a 15" MBP with no upgrades at about $1800 or, with a faster processor, starting at $2200. Not a lot of room left for an iPad purchase as those start at $400 with no upgrades at all. My humble experience as a photographer is that my machine needs the fastest processor, fastest SSD flash drive, and most memory in order to reasonably process RAW or even JPG images. [/QUOTE]
