I've tried Windows 8, and hate it.  I will be running Windows 7 on whatever I get.  Hopefully, the Win 7 models will drop in price in October.

Software & Accessories / Are Ultrabooks Fast enough?

« on: September 08, 2012, 10:49:55 PM »

I'm considering getting a new laptop. 

There are these new slim Ultrabooks such as http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/thinkpad/x-series/x1-carbon/ - one of the few that supports 8 GB RAM.

The question I have is how well do these CPUs cope with basic post-processing, eg DPP or LR?

Has anyone used one for this purpose?  Are they fast enough?

I know for the same price, you can get a normal size, normal spec laptop.  However the idea of carrying an Ultrabook sized laptop while loaded with all the camera gear is quite appealing.
