    Mac Book Air?

    Does anyone use a 13" Mac Book Air with Wirecast? Any recommendations?
    I would use 1 or 2 Logitech C920s and a BlackMagic Mini-Recorder camera source. Is this doable?
    Anyone have any 1st hand experience with a setup like this?
    Anyone using a 13" MacBook Pro with retina display and Wirecast?

    Max it out. Dual i7, 8GB RAM (I think that's the max for an Air). You might still need to cut some corners with settings.

    Thanks cseeman.

    I found this, although I do not know the specs.



    Maybe the "Air" isn't the best option. If you were to pick between these four models, what would you pick? Should I consider this HP ENVY or avoid HP?

    HP Z series laptops have a Thunderbolt port so that could be a consideration.
    I prefer 15" MBPr because they have two Thunderbolt ports (and two USB3 buses). They can be boot camped to run Windows as well, giving you a Windows computer with two Thunderbolt ports.

    Thanks cseeman. I ended up purchasing a MBP 15" (i7 quad, 16Gb ram, 512 SSD, dedicated graphics card).
