ok since i am not getting any answers. the question needs to be modified will any 8gb i5 6th be ok for the purpose and in the said subject. Ok as in will perform as all laptops in that price range?
I need the laptop for mostly preparing presentations, the odd autocad use (light), revit (again only for checking files) and photoshop etc. I already have desktops for the major tasks :)
Casual gaming if time permits!
15.6" FHD is what i am thinking. I will make to with TN glossy panels unless...
Thanks Rhyansy and Crapmypants. The desktops we have one of them has got a quadro in it. I know for hardcore work we need workstation quality graphic cards, but we are currently able to manage without in the others.
I guess i will have to live the poor graphic card and the performance it gives...
Hi Rhyansy, thanks for the reply. This is not a replacement for a workstation, i need to use it at home or when travelling, or on site. Occasional use, We already have xeons and i5's desktops in our office.
Between 31K - 40K, (laptop), 10k (SSD & CD mount)
Maybe an i5? , 8 gb ram requisite for applications, 1gb or 2gb dedicated graphics
Autocad, Photoshop, Revit & the other usual uses
15 - 15.6" , anti glare, Widescreen, Matte,
Don't have many preferences but don't like the design of Asus and the...
@Crazy_Eddy thanks again!
btw can i add an ssd by swapping the optical drive with one?
I think ill narrow down on an i5 processor with an 'M' CPU and get 8 gb of ram instead with a 2gb dedicated vram.
Big up for your reply crazy_eddy. I spoke to the dell guys about the vostro 3560. Apparently only the i7 has an msata drive built in (way beyond my budget at 66k), the i5 config (at 56) does not have msata connector on the board.
this website states otherwise...
Thanks for thereply crazy_eddy. Just one more thing all quad cores overheat? The specs of the asus model still attract me and we already own an sus k53s series i5 laptop with no such problem.
Thw quad cores will help autocad and processor intensive tasks in revit. The 8gb ram is also great for...
What's your Budget? (e.g. >30K, not more than 50K etc.)
41-50k
What will be your primary usage for the notebook be? (e.g. web surfing/office apps/Casual Gaming)
Autocad
Revit
Sketchup
Photoshop
Maybe casual gaming (only on the rare nostalgic occasion mostly beer spurred)
What size and...
hi guys
i have a love and hate relationship with technology
some recent wins over technology i had was extending my wireless using WDS bridging to run my new Ouya. I realise that with anything based on the PC or Android platform being a geek is the only way to go about it. With an apple device...
