Thanks for replying! Ok, i see the difference between a desktop and a laptop pc, dedicated to this work, I really do. If I had the opportunity I´d invest in a desktop, but for now, I really need the possibility to be able to work at different locations. But as far as laptops can be used to rendering, is this some of the ¨best you can get? I will not be rendering huge demanding scenes, most small-scale interiors (working with small housing/dwellings) For the most I will be using it for adobe programs and archicad, but I would like to be able to do some decent rendering as well. Is there a third option? Where I place a desktop at my home, and work remote with a laptop connected to the desktop? Is this something you have experience with? - Erik

Hi! This semester I´ll be working on my master-thesis, and would like a powerful laptop that is versatile, and can handle demanding tasks. Would like it to be able to run vray, 3ds max, f storm, archicad, rhino, adobe ps,id,ill. I´m considering this one with the following specs: MSI P65 CREATOR 9SF-470NE: (https://www.msi.com/Prestige/P65-Creator-9SX/Specification) Intel Core i9 (9. gen) 9880H / 2.3 GHz 32GB RAM / (max 64GB RAM) 1TB SSD 15,6¨ 3840 x 2160 (Ultra HD 4K) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q Is this a good option? Really appreciate all answers, - Erik

Hi! I´m an architect student, really new to this. Until now, I have made renders in the internal engine in ArchiCAD, and that´s about it. But now, I´d like to try something new. I have a Mac, and I realize that this eliminates a whole lot of options for what program(s) to use? Thought about Cinema 4D, but I also heard that Corona works with Mac now? Any recommendations? Also, my Mac is quite old, will it handle renderings on a more advanced program or do I have to upgrade? I have a MacBook Pro 15¨ 2011 with these specs: - 2 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 - AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB Will be using it for architectural visualizations, interiors, facades etc. Thank you, - Erik
