Looking to buy a new Laptop - NewTorran - 16.07.2010

Hello,

I am looking to buy a new Laptop, Mostly for modelling and animating and all that.
I dont want anything fancy just something that will run programs fine like Autodesk 3DS Max
As i said i dont want this laptop for gaming or anything just for modelling.
So does anyone have any suggestions on a laptop?

Specs or Manufacturer. I dont mind.

Thanks

Modeling and animation actually requires a better computer, then gaming

Never buy a HP laptop:

At least not these ones: http://hplies.com/memberlist.php?mod...user&sk=z&sd=d

I wouldn't take my chances though.

Acer have got to be one of the best make, For durability anyway.

ASUS

Laptops arent good for what you want to do though, your better off with a workstation.

Agreed with iLinx. Animation and modelling programs won't run fine on laptops, the CPU and, to a lesser extent, the GPU are very likely to overheat when rendering. This happens to 2 friends of mine (HP and Toshiba).

Get a desktop (Dell).

Programs like Autodesk like $3k video cards and Xeons

You're paying for the name with alienware, they're badly overpriced. I'd suggest an acer, but as the above posters said, you'll want a desktop for modeling.
