I asked about the problems on various forums but figured things out before anyone responded.
There were a few hair pulling events but it was mostly the idea that you are on your own. You have to choose from a compatible list of parts but there really is a selection of strong contenders and the bonus is that you can set up a dual boot OS X / Windows or just go Windows if the Hackintosh proves too challenging. I spoke to a couple of TB support techs about it. I did some research when I was planning to build a system to run Harmony. I have the elegant OS and do not have to invest in Windows software. I was able to customize more than Apple ever offered. Have you considered building a Hackintosh? I have been all Mac for years and hated the idea of switching to Windows but Apple no longer offers anything suitable for my uses. One other problem with a laptop is limited options, especially in GPU’s. There are a lot of editors and the Timeline, Drawing/Camera and Network windows benefit from being large. I would not like being confined to a laptop and a desktop display unless it was one of the new ultra wide 34" models. I use two 27" displays and would like more screen space. Even when you connect a full size display you have to consider the small size of the laptop it is paired with. One problem with a laptop is lack of screen space.
It will end up costing you more money sooner than later if you invest in yesterday’s technology. If you are going to go through the effort of building a system you might as well invest in the current technology. The 700 NVidia series has been replaced by the 900 series. CPU and graphics card choice will need to take this into consideration. That is typically handled outside of Toon Boom software.
You should also consider video processing in the pipeline. From what TB techs said, the graphics card is most important and all of the current CPU’s are sufficient.
