>>2924100General-use system is an Intel NUC with 6Gb
http://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/nuc/nuc-kit-d34010wyk.htmlAnd I *can* edit on it, but it's a bit slower than the GTX660 & 4Gb i5, so I tend to download off camera and do my culling on the nuc and then switch to the i5 for editing.
The NUC serves the files via gigabit lan, via sshfs, so if anyhting is a bottleneck that's it, but if it bothered me I'd download off camera to the i5's ssd and move only USB bays afterwards. But it doesn't bother me.
Color management is a thing.
I used to use an expensive gaming monitor that was supposedly very decent at color profiling, but after seeing numerous screens side by side i don;t trust any one thing anymore. I also don't print, so I'm not that concerned.
If I ever really want to see how thigs look I crank two phones and one tablet and put them on the shelf next to my two tv's - which are my primary monitors.
Between the oversaturated 50", the samsung panel 55" and the typically device-saturated and deceptively concentrated devices.. i just kind of eyeball it based on what DT does when I hit auto on an image I already know is well exposed.
It's completely fallible, but that's how I roll.. for now.
I have calibrated the 50", but that dont; do anything different from it;s default internal profile. And did calibrate the gaman monitor, but that was also a waste of effort.
At one point I was running Ufraw on a debian Pi3, and VNC 'd it to a tablet for interface. Worked ok. Would be ok for a travel or emergency field setup.
