Pretty cool video of a pixel alchemist or digital artist.

I get that she uses a Puget System laptop running Windows. On Creative Labs during her compositing workshop it was mentioned it was around $6,800 and quite heavy. She said she wanted the horsepower and speed over an Apple which got the chat room into a fit.  Three SSD drives and 32GB memory running it along with some high-end video card that was built for her (Has her name engraved on the top cover along with Puget Systems.).

However, in the Smugmug video above, there is some sort of lighted blue keyboard thing attached to the lower right hand corner at 1:47 into it.  Anyone know what it is and what it is used for?  I know there is a Wacom tablet to her far right, but cannot figure out what that attached lighted blue keyboard thing is or used for?

I got all excited about it too. smile But it's just an rugged-ized/waterproof external hard drive.

Well nuts!

I thought it was some super-secret button gizmo for Adobe or maybe Capture One since she uses those two.
