Sweet laptops for graphics
I was perusing the ATI an Nvidia booths at siggraph looking for the portable laptop with the coolest graphics card. The ATI booth had a couple that I could heft. The guy at the Nvidia booth had the Dell XPS 1210. They are heavy, but they have cool video cards inside. To wit...
- Lenovo ThinkPad T60p (2623D8U) PC Notebook Reviews at Shopping.com. Note that DVI output comes with the docking station. After I switched to pure digital with my current PowerBook, I can't go back now. That's important.
- Compaq and HP nw8440. This was rendering a rainy day real time, full screen in the ATI booth. The screen is beautiful. The price and weight and probably the battery life are going to be. Well, suboptimal.
The Dell XPS 1210 has a good nVidia card in it, it is small and it would be perfect. But, it doesn't have DVI either on-board or in a docking station.
- macbookpro. Has a good ATI card, but not the latest and greatest like the IBM and Compaq. And now that I've used Picassa2, I don't need iPhoto anymore.
