GTX 980 ti or 2014-2015 MacBook Pro?
I already have a 970.
I travel a lot and my current 2011 windows laptop is dying on me. I need something for video editing, music dev, Photoshop and other design products. Also need one for school. |

| Any Nvidia "Titan" card is designed for workstation tasks like rendering. |

And yes, this is coming from an enthusiast. But since he needs a computer for school, the MacBooks (despite a high premium) are very good and have outstanding battery life, which solves your current laptop's problem.
Unless you plan on lugging around a tower, monitor, and all the other stuff to school. |

| The XPS 13 is an excellent choice as well, another light and mobile laptop that would suit your needs. |

hold on before you do anything stupid and buy a titan or macbook consider looking at the performance tests for the 980ti, charts show that it outperforms the Titan and it costs cheaper |

@tnt
you obviously don't know what you're talking about. do you even know what a 980ti is? i'll give you a hint, they're not even available for purchase. they're nvidia's newest GPU |

also @the guy with the 2 titan x
even R9 295x2 and gtx 970 sli outperform the Titan X statistically. do a little research before you buy a gimped GPU next time |
