[QUOTE="Mookamoo, post: 39366"] Hi I am designer (Mainly print and web) about to go freelance and need some advice on what kit I should buy. I have worked for agencies for the last 12 years and now is the time to go it alone..... The idea is that I have a number of contacts who use freelancers, but don't want to update all their kit etc and keep a workstation going, so I will be a 'traveling studio'. I am thinking of the following G4 Powerbook (poss a refurb? Anyone got any nightmare stories?) A3 Colour printer (any recommendations - I don't really want to spend a fortune, but don't want to mess around having to get a separate rip. This will stay in my studio) DVD writer (I have an existing G4 at home, so I want to hitch that up to the burner - whats the best one?) Digital Camera (Any ideas? I need a 5 megapixel one, but it has to look like a traditional SLR. If it doesn't, my clients won't believe it is doing a good job - weird but true) Portable Firewire Harddisk (I have a Firelite which is pretty good - any better out there?) Cheers Mook [/QUOTE]
