Hello!
I am going to buy a new laptop. And After much deliberation and with given budget, I narrowed down it to 2 Different Ones. Can you recommend which one would be better for Unity? Thank you in Advance
depends what you are doing. Do you art at all? If so go with more graphics card.
extra screen space is a big plus in my book.
I just got a Microsoft surface pro with GTX1060. It does pretty good, is fine for 3d modeling and even 3d sculpting if I don’t get too crazy with it. There can be a slight lag sometimes which kind of annoys me but doesn’t prevent work from getting done. Of course no need for surface pro if you don’t do any photoshop.
it seems that many new baking/raytracing features only work in NVIDIA initially, so i’d get that one…
and depending on your budged…
i’d definitely try to take 16gb memory (although you can always upgrade later),
or even better gpu (since Newegg-site has roughly same price(?) for that computer vs. amazon, but better gpu)
If those were my only options, I would get the one with the larger display and the Nvidia graphics. Then I would add another 8GB of RAM to it, so it had 16GB total.
Honestly, what do you guys do. Carry a 5-8KG monster around in your backpacks when you’re in the library or chilling at Starbucks, with a colossal power supply? If the lappy is meant for just home use, get a desktop!
To be honest the best approach is likely to have two devices. One for portability and one for presentations. An ultrabook or high-end tablet for the first one, and a gaming laptop for the second.
I do nearly all of my work from a desktop PC with three 27" panels. My current laptop is just for very basic browser tasks. I try not to do any actual work on a laptop. I don’t hang out at the library or Starbucks.
An actual professional wanting to make connections with other professionals. If I were into developing VR games for more than giggles I would totally have a gaming laptop plus the Rift S since it doesn’t require setting up lighthouses.
