Hello
At home I have a BIG desktop PC and NA. In my previous workflow I was coming home with tons of pictures and import them in LR.
On location I had a MBP to find 2 or 3 pictures if the client was impatient to see something, but not much.
Sometimes I spend 8 hours in a stadium shooting Rhythmic Gym for my club, but for 4 or 5 times 2min 30s of real shooting. I have 8 hours to spend... so I was dreaming to begin ingesting and sorting pictures on location with a tiny laptop.
I have a iPad Pro M4, but sadly Photomechanic don't support it...
Lately I have tried the Mac with the base model M4 on Photomechanic and LR and I was shocked how good it is... so I bought the new MB Air M4, base mode.
On location I have an external SSD where I can store my last pictures and my LR catalog, and also a Angelbird CFexpress reader. I need to find a solution to fix both on the back on my screen but that will be easy.
...it's so fast

Back at home, I just connect the SSD on my Desktop PC on voila... I can continue working.
By the way, I bought Photomechanic when also buying the Nikon Z8 so I can shoot at 20fps Rhythmic Gym and my club has 280 little gymnasts... so since Septembre I have already shot close to 1 000 000 pictures and it would have not been possible to sort that without a good workflow and Photomechanic.
So thanks everybody!

I you want to see a small portion of a busy competition day :
