A real geek moment for the film maker, but a good question to pose. Is it better to use a laptop or a desktop. Well, overall that depends on personal circumstances.
Overall, a desktop is in my opinion the better of the two machines to get especially if on a budget. Most film makers are now editing digitally, but as the computer is essential in even the most basic of film tasks, a desktop does make a lot of sense. They are more powerful than their laptop counterparts and usually more reliable.
However, a laptop does have it uses, particularly when it comes to the Pre-Production stage. 'Pre' involves a lot of meeting up, a lot of faffing and a lot of rushing around. This is the time you appreciate a laptop. Great to show people things, bits and bobs. Wi-Fi is essential too.
Oh well, got a lot more pre-production to do...
