markm Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The Hackintosh sounds great for those who know about computers Unfortuneatly All I know is windows and very limited knowledge on that. What recommendations (Preferably laptop) to edit Raw on windows? Can it even be done without proxies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOONGOAT Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Windows [7] is perfectly capable of editing raw. Your hardware is what matters. Unfortunately I don't know too much about laptops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderbanks Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 this is total guess work, as i'm not 100% sure as what i takes to playback/edit raw, but i would say you should plan on getting a desktop replacement level laptop. ssd replacing the standard hdd, replace the optical drive with that said hdd drive (or a big ssd) for your cache. a top end mobile video card. usb 3.0 (or some other fast transfer speed i/o port). at least 8gb of ram. quad core processor. probably going to want an external raid array or two for your media files (i'd have one with mirrored disks for redundancy/back up and one with the data spread across several disks for speed/editing). all in all, i think you'd probably end up just barely able to work with raw files. why not build/buy a workstation?

Leang Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 would be nice to have a Maximus config with CS6. Was thinking of upgrading to a K5000 vs. the 2000 I have, or buy a Tesla GPU for the 2000 I already have. Then I upgrade to a 6000 later on for cheap. Then again the K5000 has more than a 1000 cores running already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravitateMediaGroup Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 In preparation of the BMCC eventually making its way to me, I just had a pretty serious PC built, that way I'm not just staring at an amazing camera and no way to connect the dots.
