Need Opinion and Idea for Computer Specs

[v-lix]

Hi Guys,

I work for Event Design company now. The thing is, my boss want to buy the new laptop for support to do the rendering, instead of PC, since he would like to have something mobile.

I did tell him that PC is much better to do this hardcore job compare to laptop (am I correct to say that?)

But He just want Laptop (You know how is the boss:))

 

So, can You guys, help me to give some opinion about the laptop that STRONG enough to do the job..I heard about HP workstation 8370 and also Dell, any experience? (But it's too expensive for my boss though)

 

If...... I still try to get PC, any recommendation for the specs?

 

Regards

Actually the pc is absolutely fine, But the Boss is the BOSS !!!

So why dont you take a look at Toshiba Qosmio X300.

I really am an amateur but maybe it shall work for you.

The cost of a laptop (desktop replacement) is always going to be more than a desktop, so you'll have to ask your boss if he's ok with spending more to get the mobility. The Dell M6400 is designed as a mobile graphics workstation. They are not cheap though and start at around $3000 and can go over $10,000 full loaded.

The Dell M line are pure workstations, but if you just want rendering power and not the full ISV certification and quadro cards you can probably get by a Dell Alienware M17x. It's a gaming notebook, but for $ 2000 you can a Q9000 quad-core, 4Gb RAM, 17 inch screen and a GTX 260M that will run circles around pretty much any mobile quadro in DirectX. For $ 3100 you'll get a Q9100 (2.26Ghz), 6GB RAM & 1200p screen.
