LOL Each side is actually trying to say but not seeing the same... Of course, there are differences to the size of the exposure surface. There are distinct looks, yup, sorry to have to confirm it! : D Or 70mm movies would never be shot as already stated here despite some other aspects which don't deny whatever a few egos look like to show off. Can we mimic a certain look with a smaller sensor size format? Yes, we can. Like an average female can look like a diva but stands the same. That said, try to mimic a FF f/1.2 aperture from a MFT... : P It's not impossible even though where's the glass 2x faster to begin with? But under certain variables it is feasible, just not 'the same'. And, oh yeah, with some limitations whereas distinct tools don't tell the same story. Without mention, bokeh varies under many layers from thinness to thickness (aka density). They are not synonymous. Texture is nothing but real. And reality is subject to be transformed by the medium under certain circumstances which can make a whole world of differentiation (difference and differentiation can be synonymous but are not the same or am I* the only one to have firm perception of it?) in skillful hands and knowledge for. So, formats are not identical at all. No matter how much convinced or convicted we are. Need a metaphor? A million dollar bank account will bring more room to pay a restaurant bill of 100 bucks other than to only have a grand as balance there. * you too @mercer

To the argument of monitor, here is the future now: https://www.sightful.com/spacetop-g1 https://www.techradar.com/pro/tiny-startup-bets-that-you-will-spend-dollar2000-on-a-work-laptop-with-no-screen-spacetop-g1-uses-ar-glasses-to-deliver-a-virtual-100-inch-display-but-it-runs-on-google-chrome-os Add this and works like a charm: https://anydesk.com/en/downloads/chrome-os

OCuLink is welcome but it is just more one way to operate. Monitor, mouse and not rarely keyboard too (I left mine for a touchscreen keyboard instead with my PC tablet as daily computer) are already personal accessories usually customised as add-ons inside the backpack. Nothing against laptops, on the opposite, but this insistence to ignore Mini PCs as something really useful makes little to no sense at all. Listen, this is not a competition to infer who has the bigger dick as self-esteem booster. Your links and contribution to the discussion are always rather pleasing anyway.

Need to go a little back in time to realise what all this means and why geek and filmmaker in the same line is not an easy marriage...

Monitor is not even the deal when people are used to already travel with more than a single monitor (so inexpensive these days) in the luggage ; ) eGPU, yes, it's the deal if not with a beefy price request. From past : ) https://technical.city/en/cpu/Xeon-E3-1535M-v6-vs-Core-i9-14900HX And we don't even need to bring a desktop-class processor to the equation... it's a bargain with decent RAM anyway :- )

As already stated here before, not only them. BMCC6K (FF) is another one, as for instance. Add 2x/1.8x/1.6x anamorphics (offered by a tempting no-brainer affordable piece of glass, designed & assembled, i.e., made by SIRUI, for example) on one of their open gate recording modes and you'll have distinct aspect ratios or even the possibility of reframing @ post. This is a whole different world. Apples to oranges going along a capture device without it. Almost as near as BMD's UI layout versus all those ridiculous and non intuitive menus of the Japanese mirrorless cameras.

Here's another one invariably from the usual suspects' playground... https://9to5google.com/2024/05/07/google-search-hides-number-of-results/

We're not here discussing use cases the same way we don't discuss why people choose some umpteenth alternative to those ones people see it as their own bubble's mainstream. The same way... What can't be met by a powerful Mini PC attached to an external portable eGPU to replace an equal powerful workstation? I can answer you. Definitely not an affordable powerful laptop with the graphics power of a non-mobile version of RTX 4090, as of June 2024, coupled to 24GB VRAM as minimum requirements for certain tasks tailored to the needs of a portable powerful editing/grading workstation to only say a few. People used to fly every single week spread all over distinct countries and studios/offices without budget to have a personal workstation for each and not interested to rent/use someone else's gear, as myself included, would tell you why ;- ) A fair display doing the trick is enough and easier to find.

In the current digital age we live all in, it's practically inevitable to not think of that question of Truffaut about why not establishing shots on North by Northwest (1959)... and Hitchcock's answer: "Planting the camera in the countryside to shoot a passing train would merely give us the viewpoint of a cow watching a train go by."

Nano-age is there, a 4K 'refresh' just a year later is arriving... https://www.notebookcheck.net/Insta360-announces-new-launch-event-for-rumoured-Insta360-Go-3S-claiming-4K-has-never-been-this-small.846965.0.html It's official, by tomorrow June 13: With a couple of Go 2 yet in hands, not much else to say...

Even though, other than the GPU and respective VRAM, the CPU differences are not that much: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-14900K-vs-Intel-Core-i9-14900HX/4151vsm2269186 Hence the bless of the eGPU route IMHO, the way they're looking for nowadays and coming soon...

Looks like I was not much wrong LOL ; ) when last Monday told you about the arrival of desktop-class processors rather than the usual mobile hardware to run on mini form factor instead... This one is from Yesterday: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Upgradeable-ASRock-DeskMate-X600-mini-PC-brings-better-eGPU-solution-than-OCuLink.846231.0.html https://www.tomshardware.com/desktops/mini-pcs/you-can-use-a-full-sized-gpu-with-asrocks-new-mini-pc-deskmate-x600-only-for-china-priced-at-roughly-dollar193-usd

LOL : ) Who reads you here for a while... more than a decade now, can only send a good laugh but you know something? Don't kill the messenger later on when I've proposed this and most part of you love the game:

I think the point is exactly this one. Without mention, the larger the more light you can play with. Look is made by light, after all. Low light performance as reference, not the same as no lighting, OK? But room for. - EAG

This is the secret sauce, not the brand or whatever marketing sells for ; ) In a word or in a single line, art (because cinema is an art form) is a combo, no less. - EAG

What it is funny to me is the hype about this release when for same price we can buy a true cinema camera (BMD FF) these days... Apples to oranges. - EAG

I concur on the filmmaking remark. No doubts, most part is pastiche, so completely useless. I wish IT developers could learn a bit with their fellows from the filmmaking realm indeed ; ) With a bit of the exception for wedding videographers, corporate video and those who work in a daily basis with commercials without some other method in any way other than as being more creative for fairly balance their loading when there's a customer directly paying the delivery made. These ones cannot be considered purposeless. I also concur it's not easy to survive in a large enterprise IT environment hence my remark that the competition is inside but the user paying the bill outside. What bothers me. Those "most switched and talented people" you mention fail on learning basics of communication and art in general. They simply don't care. Let alone those in the chair of the decision-chain, they also need to justify their personal revenue. These people look to never have heard about minimalim only to refer one example and so on. Take a look on Facebook as for instance today. A disgrace. Instagram was purchased why? And Skype? What did they do with the latter one at least? About Google, what are they actually doing with? To place sane users out of there? Confusing, a total mess. The settings are a completely lack of respect for the user with a lot of justifications to pay a few useless services like we have no life outside. Let's get the right picture of what online is and should always be. Most part of it is really coming from such a hit-and-miss affair. Common sense and putting ourselves into someone's shoes, in the moment of change the design of the UI once again a week or month, wouldn't hurt at all.

Yet on the use of mobile vs desktop hardware, I wonder how might some hybrid combo work out? One thing is for sure, there's no more than 16GB VRAM for the use of GPU nor unified memory as happens with Apple going along a Windows laptop. So, how would a 13900HS actually fit a RXT 4090 24GB VRAM match? If the 13th or 14th generation of a desktop processor can be something to avoid 'cause of thermal throttling issues, what about a balance between the best of both worlds? I think this is what Mini PCs are bringing to the equation... But again, what do we know? : D https://www.pcworld.com/article/2216181/intel-14th-gen-mobile-core-hx-no-need-to-upgrade-and-thats-great.html

I guess so, exactly the same wondering here, hence I think the obscure label perfectly fits there... LOL However, there are two interesting variables they dare to add... One of them is why Intel rather than AMD and their respective low profile cooling, like what they have to offer instead? The other one is the external eGPU which will obviously alleviate the overheating pressure inside the main box.

This last one would be where I would couple a i9-4900K desktop processor absolutely allergic to low profile CPU coolers, hence my wondering on Beelink pushing the boundaries; so just curious to see where they're going but it's definitely a last pristine forest to be explored nowadays, no doubts on it :- )

Here's another one, similar form factor *: * And here's a bit larger but not that much, the Lian Li above-mentioned where the game is being played these days... ;- ) Not exactly a Mini PC but a solid fact is there, it's neither a RTX 4090 VRAM 16GB nor a mobile version of a CPU we're talking about, yes, desktop stuff at the portable side... To those who are in the move, this makes a whole difference anyway, once thermals may happen to be under control...

OCuLink access is already a reality today. As for the processor, yup, desktop ; ) that's the ticket now, not exactly this one yet but close: On the price target, it depends. Their offer is usually much affordable so I expect it will match the normal-size one instead.

I stand BTW... what people do to justify the existence of their useless jobs and salaries... Google is actually the finest example of it, they change so many times their services that become annoying and a perfect waste of resources instead. I don't think they become more profitable with those silly moves from a few individuals to desperately struggle for their survival. The competition is inside their companies, not outside. Take a look on Yahoo or Bing with a market share of 3.11% less than 9 months ago, so a couple of losers. They don't go to bankruptcy because the market is huge and their core business hold the margin but far to be a case of success and top one of the industry.

LOL The trouble is when you spend less time with ;- )
