This is small list of cases of usage and software/app name that I recommend to solve this problem. Hardware and OS is easy for me – MacBook Pro with Mac OS is way to go. If you like other OS I suggest looking for Sony Vaio or Lenovo ThinkPad. All choices and sugestions are subjective and be aware that our „app tastes” might not be the same. If there are „Webapp” after soft name this means that you must register to use this app. Clear? Let’s get it started.
