Rockstar,
I’ve used a laptop as a primary and I prefer a desktop. I do try to keep a laptop capable editor on hand particularly for use as a field editor. Nothing like getting all the ‘light work’ done beforehand. That and as a field editor with DV Rack (oldschool) or On-location (DVR reborn) onboard makes shoots and field edits so much more pleasant. Be advised though, laptops are more durable than they used to be but still don’t stack up to a dedicated desktop (a MilSpec Toughbook on the otherhand….)
