You're proving you have no relevance. You bitch about Laptops (presumably Maclap tops) not having the ability to use certain devices...
Nope never did. I said they were not as ergonomic due to beauty coming before usage and were also cost cutting in using the same size keyboard in all MBPs.
.....which is nonsense, now you tell us that anyone who wishes to use such devices on their Mac's isn't relevant. Get your story straight.
I did, you are the one with reading problems, so unless you can learn to read a post correctly before replying in future, I shall simply ignore your nonsense from now on. You're the one who brought in irrelevent devices that one can attach to laptops at home. Who cares, not me as
I don't use a laptop at home for work? and as I said before, needing to plug external input devices to a largish laptop only reinforces my point, not good enough in the first place.
It just so happens that a Macbook Pro is a great business machine you can hook up to a larger display and keyboard (and other devices), then take on the road. Oh, running more than one or two OS's too! That you decided for us here that we should only use laptops for one use and desktops for another shows you're not willing to discuss this logically, you have a prejudices against Apple and just want to make what was a useful thread, another silly "Mac versus Windows" slug feast.
No, I just described how I use a laptop. Didn't tell anyone else what to do, which is what you seem to be doing. I simply think VAIO laptops have better keyboards than Apple laptops. What heresy!!!!!! I must go off and whip myself with barbed wire.
No thinks, you've proven to me so far that there's no reason to continue talking to you as an adult about this subject.
What childish behaviour and delightfully ironic. You are the one who cannot read and started talking about using laptops as destop machines and all the gadgets you can plug into it to make up for the inherent deficiencies I commented on when using them
as laptops, not desktop replacements.
I use a laptop when travelling and have no need to add anything to it let alone a 23" display, which only a complete idiot would suggest. Which you do! Duh!
Well good for you bud, so can I. But my display is a full 10" bigger than yours <g>.
Boastfull + innacurate. I have dual displays at home and a 30" is slightly bigger, but not enough to warrant buying one. Unless I use that as part of a 3 monitor desktop.
No, it only reinforces to me that you don't have a good idea how to use these tools. The Intel chip in this Macbook Pro is fast enough for Lightroom and Photoshop work indeed.
Just like my 30 month old 13" Vaio and that has what relevence to ergonomics? Oh yes, none. And how is prefering to use a desktop at home, not knowing how to use tools. Are you implying that anyone who doesn't use an laptop for everything is an incompetent? And as the max RAM for laptops is only 4G, a desktop [max 32G]up kind of beats it for sheer grunt power, especially an 8 core machine.
But its still got a 15" display (I could go 17" but that's too large to haul around for me, but at least that's another option).
but no usuable 13", which is my preference for travelling.
I have the Macbook driving a 23" display which if you understand the math here, is considerably larger and for occasional image editing, easily calibrated and profiled. I also have no issues with the MacBook Pro keyboard on the road, but why NOT have a full sized keyboard? Its as easy as plugging in a USB device. And I have the Macbook taking up virtually no desk space since it fits VERTICALLY off to the side in a stand. If I go on the road with it, its about 24 seconds to unhook everything, get up and go. I still have a superb albeit smaller display and keyboard. So your so called point about poor ergonomics is all in your mind.
BTW
"Ergonomics is the science of people-machine relationships. An ergonomically designed product implies that the device blends smoothly with a person's body or actions. I.e. without adding extra kit to make it usuable.
And
I don't use a laptop at home for work and the MBP keyboard is way inferior to my my 13" VAIO even the one on the enormous 17" MBP. In fact I'd be as happy writing a script on my laptop as my desktop keyboard.
Well when you can use a 23" or better, a 26" wide gamut LCD, let me know. I can currently do that today with the Macbook, then go back to the 15" for travel. I can tell you with absolute certainly, whatever laptop you have, its display isn't anywhere the quality of the NEC I have that I can drive from the MacBook. When the NEC 30" comes in, the NEC wide gamut 26" will replace the 23" Cinema display. Yup, the card in the Macbook can drive it just fine. Oh, I should just use the 15" display because you say I can't make the Laptop mutlitask? Bull crap.
You're really being ridiculous. I can sit on the couch and surf the web just like you, but for lots of work, there's no way you can tell anyone here that driving a display nearly twice is large is a poor idea IF YOU WISH.
Learn to read you moron, before you make yourself look any dumber.
I use a laptop for travelling or rarely on couch downstairs. I doubt I've even used it at home this year, other than to unload info. I never said anything about multitasking, you're just ranting now.
We're done here. You want to be "right" despite pretty piss poor logic and a troll like negative attitude towards Apple products, great.

You are an illiterate fool, who seems to ignore what was actually written and appear to have gone a bit crazy as I dared to not fawn at the altar of Apple. I just use whatever tool is best for the job. Such as a laptop when out and dual monitors and a desktop when home and even though I own Apple gear, I'm not blind to their many flaws like some pathetic fanboy.
If you want to use a laptop as your main computer , I don't mind in the slightest, if that suits your needs, great. Your needs are not mine and I prefer to use a desktop. Not sure why you need to froth at the mouth about me using a laptop just for it's primary purpose?
