Want recommendation on shopping for new laptop computer for Sketchup work – Laptop Recommendation

To the OP, sounds just like the machine you’re looking at will run SU and the whole lot else simply effective however while you add Vray into the combo, that laptop computer will sould like a hair dryer on excessive (and the temps will match as properly). Vray will use each useful resource doable to get a render achieved so don’t be shocked if it takes some time for a render to finish and hopefully it doesn’t warmth your home within the course of. I’ve an MSI GE-77HX and utilizing SU with Vray, it suits the invoice, however once more, you get that hair dryer going very quickly. If Vray is somethin you’re critically wanting into, attempt visiting the Chaosgroup discussion board for recommendation as properly, for a laptop computer that may deal with the calls for of Vray.

Heh. For certain. My V-Ray renders are achieved on a 1.8GHzCeleron cellular laptop computer with Intel 610 (shared) graphics, 4GB RAM, and a HDD. It’s not too unhealthy till you push issues to 4096×1152 at Excessive+ settings. That’s when the laptop computer can and can do completely nothing else for the following 8 hours (or longer)!

Hello @jjmorvay

Thanks once more!

Hello Saul,

I really feel ya buddy!

Dell’s affords come and go, and I’ve missed the boat on the laptop computer i wished as a result of im nonetheless ready on my paycheck.

I’ll must resort to one thing cheaper with lesser specs on the 2nd hand market.

Good query! Sure, you’ll be able to at all times depend on Chaos Cloud, a cloud-based render service that comes together with your subscription, however the caveat there may be that it’s important to buy credit. I attempted it out as soon as, after they supplied 20 free credit with the service and it labored nice till I noticed what number of credit it took to render the scene. The extra sophisticated the scene, the longer it takes, thus extra credit are spent. It might get pricey to depend on utilizing the cloud on a regular basis although. As I mentioned earlier than, I solely used it as soon as, and it was for a challenge for work that I wasn’t getting the precise outcomes and sadly, even with cloud rendering, the whole lot got here out the identical. Your outcomes might fluctuate after all, however the prices of utilizing the cloud can actually add up.
