BIGAL Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I did not know that Cadtutor was a PC shop. It depends on where you are in the world. A laptop spec could be I7, at least 16Gb ram, SSD, and a good graphics card. Wireless keyboard a cheap one that works not sure about much more same with mouse. Big screen what do you call big ? Maybe a projection system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Have they figured out a way to jamb a good Video card into a laptop? Any dual monitor set up bigger than 24" are going to cost nearly as much as the laptop. Edited April 17, 2020 by Dana W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you left out a very important piece of information. What is your budget for all of this equipment? I can tell you from my own experience, if you're going to be doing a lot of 3D work, and especially if you're going to be doing a lot of rendering, you should forget about the laptop and get a desktop PC with a 6-core I7 processor, 32GB RAM and a mid to high end graphics card. If you skimp on the specs, you will regret it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you skimp on the specs, you will regret it. An AMD Threadripper CPU is also a good option. Get an m.2 PCIe NVME solid state hard drive. GTX 1080 minimum graphics if not an RTX based unit. There is NO need for either a Xeon or Quadro based system. You will NOT see a ROI on those upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
