Hello fellow researchers. I currently have a workstation win7 and a budget laptop for mobile computing needs(class, libraries, etc). Basically, I am doing most to the research on the laptop and all of the heavy duty stuff on the workstation. I am basically software bound to the windows system due to the amount of software currently using. Would purchasing a workstation class notebook have much advantage other than less time transferring files to the desk computer due to the great performance difference? Other question is how are your work flow systems setup( one, two computers, and how do most efficiently use them)?
I will be starting my masters thesis in a few days, and pending graduation in May will be starting doctoral studies in the fall. Any and all recommendations will greatly be appreciated.
