Hi. I will soon be going to a grad school which requires that I buy either my own MAC or PC laptop with the following requirements:
Budget: Under $2,000
Mac laptops.
- Current or recent MacBook Pros with i7, i5 or Core 2 Duo processor.
- Minimum 4GB RAM (8GB recommended).
- 7,200rpm or SSD internal drive
Windows laptops:
Since I will be working with Avid, they suggest either Dell or HP laptops, with either i7 or Core 2 Duo processors
- Windows v7 64-bit SP1(Professional) or Windows v8, v8.1 (Professional and Enterprise)
- Minimum 4GB RAM (8GB strongly recommended). Internal HDD - size not so important as I recommend external drives for media. 7,200rpm or SSD internal drive will offer best performance.
Graphics cards:
- NVIDIA Quadro K1000M or K2000M
- NVIDIA Quadro 3000M
- NVIDIA Quadro 1000M
- NVIDIA Quadro 4000M
- NVIDIA FX 2800M
- NVIDIA FX 1800M
- NVIDIA FX 2800M
- NVIDIA FX 3800M
- NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M or Quadro FX 3700M
- NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M
- They recommend nothing with a screen size less than 15".
