  1. Kinda like has been already said, you want as big of a screen for photo work as you can accommodate. And at least 8 GB RAM, if not more. i5 proc if you go Intel. As far as manufacturers go, my $.02 would be to avoid HP at all costs. The other guys here have had issues with Dell, however I have not both with personal and professional experience. Same with Lenovo, as they have seemed to make a dependable and durable machine. If you can swing it, and plan to store the majority of your images externally, buck up for an SSD. It will drive your price up, but will significantly help with your machine's performance. Acer has some nice stuff, and while Asus makes some nice internal hardware, I have seen a rather disproportionate amount of their laptops fail to the rest of their products.

    I back up all my photos multiple times. Most of the photography editing I do will probably be on the desktop. I plan to take this laptop with my in the semi for skyping, facebook, web surfing, movies. Also will take it when on travel with the family. The most I would probably do photography wise is pull pictures off the sd card, but that could change. Pictures then get offloaded at home.

    I checked out a Lenovo twist or flips today at staples, and really kind of liked it even though it doesn't have a dvd player. Kind of a cross between a tablet and a laptop, may be just what I need.

  2. 17" seems big to lug around in my truck. I can do my picture work on the desktop and likely would. I wasn't happy with my last dells although they did exchange under accidental damage warranty. Semi vs laptop is never good. Only reason I was considering dell is tge discount from work.

  3. What laptop to buy for multimedia home and travel use? Primarily travel. I do a lot of amateur photography I used the search, but technology is always changing. I'm thinking 14" screen. Budget is negotiable. I've been looking at lenovo y ideapads and dell xps 14. Also considering apple, but I've never had an apple so I'm Leary.

  4. because its not a respectable job. working at mcdonalds is more respectable than being a meter maid. pretty sure "being a little bitch" is part of the meter maid job description.

    Not their fault that cities make parking rules. It is a job. If you don't like it fight the law or ordinance. Would you rather the person be on welfare programs? Funny I bet you dislike motorcycle rider or firearm owner stereotypes, but have no problem stereotyping these people. I've never had a parking ticket, because I find it cheaper to feed the meter even if I have to pay for more time than I use.

    What is it that you do? I bet soneone would say it is not a "respectable" job.

  5. I got a parking meter ticket yesterday in grandview on my bike from the fat ass rent a cop wanna be walking around. Question is, do I necessarily have to pay it? I am registered and licensed in Virginia NOT Ohio. My friend was telling me the only thing they do in Ohio is not let you renew your registration? He said he has parking tickets from Chicago that be never paid. Its only 25 bucks and I don't really give a fuck.

    Why disrespect the person doing their job like that?
