Trevor Tizard Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi, I know this question is asked time and time again, but the current spec of a laptop could be obsolete by the time I finish posting this thread. So, I'm in the market for a laptop to run AutoCAD, Viz, Vray and Photoshop. Happy to go with a macbook pro if that's the way forward, or an HP as that is what we usually buy on the PC front. I will be keeping my desktop which will be doing most of the production rendering while continuing to work on the lap top. This means I will not be using xp64 or vista, but xp32 instead. Any pointers will be much appreciated. Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinsley Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The only thing I would really worry about is the RAM, hardware and how easy it is to upgrade... some manufacturers don't offer the option to upgrade the RAM or video cards in their basic laptops, I looked at a macbook pro recently, but the cost to upgrade the RAM beyond 2GB was rediculous (for both the labour and cost of RAM) and the the tech-guy had never replaced a video card... Other than that, I would think that you would be the best judge of hardware that you need by looking at what you are producing and the functionality you require.
