It's starting to look like I might need a Mac laptop. The good news is I can wait until WWDC. The bad news is I don't think we'll get new keyboards... Eep.
@rosemaryorchard how old is your current machine? Mine is 4 1/2 years old so I estimate another 1 to 1 1/2 years of software support. I’ve maxed the ram. The iPad provides the portability (that the new laptops achieve), power is good, and the pencil adds another dimension to production. The old machine can be there as the work horse for things too fiddly with the iPad...
