"3-month limited warranty" ? if you are in the EU you should have 2 years minimum no matter what the sel= ler says AFAIK >=20 > We have the budget, as we were looking for ways to spend it anyway, yes, if noone wants to cleanup swscale and noone suggests anything else the= n using a tiny fraction of the SPI money for hardware for FFmpeg development makes = sense to me too. Of course we shouldnt spend it for the sake of spending but if i= t goes towards something that helps FFmpeg development then spending 1-2k for a ma= chiene looks fine to me personally. Personally i think a OLED or good IPS screen is required for FFmpeg work, S= SD obviously and as you work on ASM obviously you need a CPU with the latest features. Personally, when choosing a notebook i would try to choose one i can try be= fore buying or have a easy way to return easily. I once bought one that looked g= ood on paper and in reviews but then had a really bad screen (and i had to return it). But my current note books are all more on the budget side thx [...] --=20 Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB He who knows, does not speak.
