MulinoBianco Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hello i am planing to buy some laptop for working in 3ds max and v ray(i7 nvidia) for now I am only interested for dell products because i found some workstation laptops with very powerful components.I wanted to hear from you guys some experiences while working on laplot.I know that PC i far better solution for work but I need to get some laplot,just because i travel a lot.These dell products a very expensive and I don't want to pay if I can't do some modeling and rendering using these. wanted to know also do they took warming too much? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Well, I'd never actually recommend a Dell laptop to somebody - call it bias but I've had too many bad experiences, from my Inspiron 5100 with a hinge that had parts literally made from heavy duty aluminum foil (I am not making this up, aluminum foil was being used structurally in the screen hinge) so that the plastic of the case actuated the hinge, causing me to go through four of the screen part of the case that all cracked in the same place, to the time I replaced some bad RAM in my friend's Precision, but it wasn't fixed, so we called tech support and were told that the broken one must be the other DIMM - the one that's under the keyboard, so all you have to do is disassemble the whole bottom half of the case! Actually, what I'd recommend is going to the link in my signature, going into the laptops section and looking at the first one in the list - the high end Asus. You want very powerful components, that's what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkames Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Alienware m17xR3 / HD 6970M which can be flashed to a Firepro M8900 is a great choice , 29x0XM is a optinal choice if you want to Overclock . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Lino Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have an Alienware 17 with overclocked I7 proccessor and 2 videocards It's a portable workstation, I travel a lot too... I remotely send stuff to my farm but in case I can not connect to the Farm, my laptop can handle anything (plan b). Fernando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branskyj Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Up until recently I was strongly against laptops being used for 3D workstations. Until I got my Dell XPS 17 l702. It's an incredible little bugger and in terms of CPU power is almost perfectly sufficient (you can never have enough CPU power for 3D). It's got a backlit keyboard (useful for work at night), it's body is made out of non-plastic material (it helps with the temps) and the screen is 1920x1080. The only downside is the GPU. Don't get me wrong- it is perfectly capable to handle most of the work I do in 3DS Max, but it will never be as powerful as a desktop GPU. And I miss that sometimes when working in heavy scenes. Bottom line- get a laptop if you need portability and your 3D scenes won't be heavily loaded with polygons. Oh, and go for Sandy Bridge CPU (or if you can wait- Ivy Bridge). Do not settle for AMD. Good luck man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'd have to second the Asus. Fantastic. And from a builder who started making lapotops because they were so sick of seeing their MB's go into shitty workmanship they figured they'd just make their own. I have a Dell inspiron. To be fair, its a five year old Dual Core and still running. But the Asus is just soooooooo slick. Its got a 3gb Graphics card and I got the base model, only $1400 from Microcenter.

Cyberstyle Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I often use a Dell XPS 17 and it handles 3ds Max really well. I can run quite complex scenes and rendering with mental Ray on the CPU or using Iray on the GPU has so far been quite impressive. Mine was spec'd out to the highest configuration possible at the time and only cost me $2100 as they had a 30% off sale at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomasEsperanza Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I have the Dell Precision M6500 i7 840QM @ 1.87GHz (4 real cores, 4 virtual) 8GB RAM Nvidia Quadro FX 2800M I render with Mental Ray from 3DS Max and its great. Solid build, professional performance - sorted Not cheap though! - it's a "mobile workstation" not a "laptop" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) If Alienware were to design a car I am pretty sure it would look something like this... http://1cargarage.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/pontiac-aztek.jpg Edited November 30, 2011 by Crazy Homeless Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 You'd need to add big aliean heads front and back, pimp lights underneath and lighted accents around the doors, windows, door handles and gas cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msamir Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi Andrew, I went searching for ASUS laptops here in Egypt and the only one I found with a core i7 processor was this ASUS G73JH-BST17 is it fast enough, shall I buy a laptop with the sandy processors instead? I'll be using it allot for rendering heavy scenes. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
