This is why I...

Re: USB, DVD, BD or all three - Pricing?
I've stopped all the haggling on all that and just ask what they want.

Re: Trying to find the best editing laptop.
I use a Dell XPS 15 with 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM and an NVidia graphics card that I like pretty well.

For everything other than the ceremony, I use minimal audio from the day. Of course, it's good dialogue I'll use it, but in my neck of the woods that is a rarity.

All I know is... if you ever need a second shooter... I'd travel to Hawaii to help film a wedding. LOL
