Seeking a laptop for work
LockedHello fellow community,
Asking for advice in choosing a laptop for the following purposes: 3D modeling, texture and video rendering, video scenes editing (high quality), 3D scanning at the office and outside, running CAD software.
I know that most manufactures offer about the same specifications of modern laptops. I need at least 16 GB memory (with possible upgrade to 32 GB), good i7 CPU, 256 GD SSD minimum – all these specs are required to work with Artec 3D scanner. One of the key requrements is best battery life for scanning outside. According https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/all-day-strong-longest-lasting-notebooks Lenovo ThinkPad T480 can hold a charge for 17 hours while most other laptops hold for 11h. HP Envy x2 can hold a charge for 14 hours which is fine.
Lenovo T480 looking good but I feel the lack of CPU and RAM, and I have to buy SSD for it also, too much investment…
HP Envy x2 has only 12″ diagonal diplay, not an option.
PS. Specifications of the scanner : https://www.artec3d.com/portable-3d-scanners/artec-spider#specifications
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Best regards!
