Forums > Back > Specs needed for post processing hardware
#1
Since I am back taking pictures I need a good post processing hardware. Most important is display, I can live with a medium performance processor.

I would prefer a tablet or Laptop since I do most of my work in bed, a huge screen wouldn't be that practical.

What screens/laptops do you suggest what are the specs I should look for ? Do I need a 4k screen?

Would it be practical working on laptop and seeing the work on a mirrored screen (Miracast technology)this way I keep my laptop and use a TV Instead of PC screen

When buying my current desktop monitor, I specifically chose one with a wide colour gamut, had a non-reflective screen, and also separately bought colour calibration hardware (now ancient Spyder 3 Pro).

 

The calibration part is easy, but finding a good quality screen on a laptop may be more difficult. Personally I don't think 4k is necessary and just use a 1980x1200 monitor myself.

 

You could look at doubling up with a TV but similar considerations apply.

4k/retina screens aren't well supported on Windows yet.

Seems as if something like the 13" Macbook Pro may be the right thing for you.

As an Apple and Windows user I can't recommend getting an expensive MacBook Pro. Why? Because Apple doens't support 10 bit color-depth. They don't do it with the cheapest Mac Mini and even the most expensive Mac Pro doesn't, it's such an embarassement! Zero points again to those pricks! So, a wide gammut display will never show it's full beauty on a Mac.  Sad
