My gf uses her mid-2012 Mac mostly for Photoshop. We have recently upgraded it to 16GB RAM, max supported, and while it made it much better, it's still way too little. She's now working on high resolution, hand-drawn game assets and 16GB RAM + SSD upgrade was a prerequisite to be able to just barely function.
- vertexFarm 8y agoYou should see the ridiculous 'laptop' I've made for work. It's a bunch of desktop hardware shoved inside a 23-inch pelican case with two fold-out 4k displays integrated into the lid. With a 3d-printed casing built around the keyboard, which sits atop the mobo and a sideways GPU. It has a couple fold-out whip antennas for wifi like something from the 1980s, but it gets great gain. I got CUDA for crunching renders, 5gHz CPU, and more ram than you can swing a dead cat at. It is a VFX beast. It's by no means a proper laptop, but people in video build very strange workstations. I think it's definitely a niche market which is ripe for exploitation. Somebody please, fill this hole!
- LeftTurnSignal 8y agoI would love to see a picture of that if you have any. No worries if not. It sounds pretty awesome though.
