I got dual cores laptop computers running Windows Vista.
What's needed for 2D & 3D photo- and video editing.
Size screen, will Intel i3, i5 be enough, how much Ram, HDD, etc.
Can chromebook do the job?
Thanks!
Probably not. I've done more reading on Chromebook and google really does want us ONLY using the cloud. And I quote
Nothing but the web.
Chromebooks are built and optimized for the web, where you already spend most of your computing time. So you get a faster, simpler and more secure experience without all the headaches of ordinary computers.
For that, you can read... and we will take over your whole computing experience so you never have to look at Windows or Mac again, so you never have to use anything other than google and google apps, again. So... what editing tools would you use? Picasa? That's just not anywhere near good enough. Great for mums and dads wanting to share with Aunty Jean but for serious editing, its rubbish.
You'd be better off updating your machines to Windows7 with more RAM, or jumping ship to Mac and getting a 15" MacbookPro (not yet though, these are likely to be updated before Christmas and with the dollar still rubbish against other currencies, Apple stuff will price drop even more, I bet, on the next hardware refresh)
