chavespunk Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Someone who works with notebook can share your workflow? Often we need to work remotely but I believe that the notebook can not take the hit, idepedende its power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nejck Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I do not use a notebook for rendering but I guess I could chime in on this one... The way I see it notebooks are portable PCs (pro) with heat issues (con) and so it comes down to personal preferences. Yeah, PCs are faster because they are stationary but the CPUs inside notebooks these days are more than ready for rendering, especially if you can afford to spend a little more money. It does depend on what you do for a living too. Workflow wise, if I were to work off a notebook I would make it so that I use it only for region renders and general previews. This way I could use it as a workstation but I would always offload full sized renders to the render slave (in this case probably your PC). I guess that makes for two benefits - you have two separate computers crunching away at numbers and you are "saving" the life span on your notebook due to it not being thermally challenged all the time. Now, if you'd like your laptop to be idle and would like to connect to your workstation via it then I would suggest that somebody else chimes in. I am very much interested myself in what other people use as a means to work off the box without too much latency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I work on a laptop much of the time--at client's offices, my girlfriend's place, Starbuck, the Library while my kid is in school...fantastic. I've worked on the train into and out of NYC, I've worked on it sitting in my car (just not driving). I can send rendering jobs back to my studio to render via remote desktop, or run them on the laptop in background and do other things, slightly slowed. It is heavy to carry around but the freedom is worth the sore back. The key is a very good, and therefor expensive, laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavespunk Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 And how do you have mobile internet on your notebook? At least here in Brazil there is no unlimited internet in which you want to place Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold Sher Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We just invested into our first laptop Lenovo W541 I7-4710MQ 32GB 1 TB SSD Nvidia Quadro k1110M 2gb Full HD. I was always of the opinion that a desktop will always beat a laptop but this machine is an absolute beast!!! Granted it is not going to get you girls. I mean really it is probably the worst looking machine ever. It looks like a brick but man, can it crunch. I guess that is all we really need in the end of the day. It is little on the heavy side and i hate the power supply which looks like you could use it a weapon to hurt someone but when it comes to pure power it is great!. It really is a first machine that can really do what it needs to do. So yes it is possible to work of your laptop and get stuff done. Do i miss my office desktop with my giant dual screens and with my render farm that eats anything you through at it... Yes i do!!!! Hope that answers your question....

Ernest Burden III Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 And how do you have mobile internet on your notebook? Starbucks and the Library have wifi. But most of my work does not involve being online. It involves sitting there for hours making models and adding lighting and Photoshop and...not being on the Internet work. Often, the Internet is the opposite of work. My slightly-old-now workhorse laptop is a Dell Covet. Heavy, fast, 17.3" IPS panel with glass...
