[QUOTE="Melparree, post: 1643425, member: 336606"] Thank you for your reply Nick, very much appreciated. A laptop would be ideal to transport to events yes, but the iMac hasn't really been an issue as I had a flight case built specifically for it. I would settle for either if I could sort the speed issue. Laptop screen size would't be an issue as I would be happy to use it with an external display, so as long as I got the performance from a 13" then no problem. The importing seems to be slow either via USB reader or Firewire reader. Speed does vary a bit between various CF cards of course, depending on the specific card used, but it's generally very slow compared to when I use the same card readers on my iMac 27" at home (3.5GHz Intel Core i7, 32gb, 2014, OSX 10.9.2 - top spek costly iMac which I won't risk at an event!). So that tells me it'll mostly be a general speed issue with the CPU. And the uploading to web is even slower if anything, almost interminable with a lot of files. I haven't really considered boosting the memory to be honest - d'you think it would make that much difference? It would make some, clearly, but enough? Thanks [/QUOTE]
