[QUOTE="[waldo] Casey Williams, post: 40718, member: 376"] Re: What laptop computer to buy? I call this the SUV mentality. (Maybe salespeople have a more refined term.) I once had to haul skis or a sack of concrete, therefore I need an SUV. I once had to edit a photo, or my computer once ran out of memory, therefore I need a macbook pro. I once had a dozen houseguests, therefore I need a mcMansion. As TJ says, everybody gets to be right in the free market. I'm much happier owning a prius (which I have once hauled a load of 16' joists in) and a 12" macbook (which I sometimes edit video on). What's the rule-of-thumb we have? Own enough gear to cover 80% of your gigs, and cross-rent for the 20% that are bigger? The general populace hasn't heard of that rule. -w [/QUOTE]
