Can you design on a laptop ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Brujah · 05-13-2005, 04:08 AM

Any designers work with a laptop ? Thinking of installing Photoshop and learning a few tricks.

Ehm, why wouldn't you be able to design on a laptop? Screen size issue?

Redrob · 05-13-2005, 04:14 AM

I have a Dell and I use it for just about everything. The docking station is a nice addition when not on the road, or when I want a regular monitor.

just the speed has to be ok, dont install PS on a p1... but a nice widescreen p4 will be as perfect as any desktop...

If you can see it, why not?

AdultNex · 05-13-2005, 04:18 AM

You CAN, but it's a bit difficult.

Doing design on a 17" LCD and going to my laptop's 1680x1050 took some getting used to.

Brujah · 05-13-2005, 04:22 AM

As a non-designer, I have no idea why it might be difficult. Thought I'd ask the designers who would know. Maybe the resolution, or colors, or speed or other hindrance.

sixxxthsense · 05-13-2005, 05:14 AM

my resolution is 1400x1050 on a 15" and i do just fine

Toonlogos · 05-13-2005, 05:24 AM

Its no problem, but the colors look different sometimes with my laptop so i double check on the PC.

Roald · 05-13-2005, 06:47 AM

Its possible but I prefer to work on a desktop, and I can't mis the duals to work on ;)))

Dalai lama · 05-13-2005, 06:47 AM

it's possible yes

easy01 · 05-13-2005, 08:08 AM

It's possible, but you need great video card (ATI)

MandyBlake · 05-13-2005, 08:17 AM

of course you can! why wouldn't you be able to?

nuttyrom · 05-13-2005, 08:18 AM

yeah, you can but even on 17 powerbook it can be come a pain. depends what you're going to design.

I work on a laptop, so yes.... it's possible. But it's a P4 with twin 21" LCDs, external optical mouse, external keyboard, twin external 250 gig removeable firewire harddrives (20 of them), all running through a giant APC UPS and networked to the rest of the machines I use for bulk data storage in here.

so, it's not just a laptop.
