braddewald Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I'm currently using a Lenovo laptop [Lenovo 2757 CTO, Intel Core2 Quad Extreme CPU Q9300 @ 2.53GHz 4 Cores, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M] purely for convenience purposes, but definitely need an upgrade; I'm doing my rendering on a farm but I use this for all my work. There's a few good systems I saw at the local MicroCenter that caught my eye and I was wondering if I could get some advice, since hardware's not really my specialty. Here's the three systems: PowerSpec G210-$1499 PowerSpec G211-$1599 Alienware Aurora R2-$1399 Am I way off base here? Would it at least be better than what I have? Would I be better off spending the money on a custom system more specialized for visualization?? Any advice would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinger Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Brad, when are you looking to buy? I actually live in Ft.Worth and would be willing to help you make a selection. As for the 3 you posted, they all look pretty good.
