Hey I'm looking to purchase a DIT (Digital imaging technician)'s laptop. I need thunderbolt on the laptop in order to communicate with certain devices that only work with this tech.
GPU is important for the imaging, and editing/transcoding/coloring.
Would like to have some battery life as well. If I need (2) laptops in order to get this done (have one for the battery length and one for the powerhouse when near an AC that would be ok too.
Thing is I dont want to spend over $2300 for both these machines.
If I get a long duration laptop it must be atleast 15hrs.
I'm looking at MSI/ASUS but dont see a thunderbolt solution here and I hate HPs.
Looking at Lenovo x240 for the duration laptop, and the Toshiba Dynabook (22hrs reportedly).
If there would be a combo of these two things (like a way to switch to lower settings and pull of duration when needed that would be best.
Anyway Let me know what you think I should do.
