Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (7567) For 5-Years Architecture Course

[izumiaiko]

For this new laptop (Windows), I will be downloading ALL Autodesk Suite, PS, Ai, Rhino, Sketchup Pro, Revit, 3D Max, AutoCAD and ArchiCAD etc...

 

Will this laptop be good enough for it? I'm planning on using it for like 5-years...

 

 

I will be getting the:

That should work nicely. I'm in year four of using a Dell laptop daily for all 3D and image editing work.

Everything seems fine, but depending on your project 16 Gb of RAM may not be enough. Just be aware of that.

I will be doing lots of rendering... Using 3DMax and Sketchup + Vray. Lots of it.

You're not going to be happy with the processor if you're doing lots of CPU based rendering. And you wont be happy with that 1050 if you're doing lots of GPU based rendering.

 

The CPU and RAM should be your number one priority. You might be better off buying a cheap used laptop to travel with, and a desktop at home for rendering. That's just my opinion though, I'm not a huge fan of laptops for any sort of 3d.
