Laptop Configuration

[isaac.skirton]

I'm buying a new laptop for mostly heavy After Effects work, with a budget of around £1500-£1700 ($2000-$2200).

However I'm stuck on what specs and stuck between 3 contrasting options - can you please help!

1/ An Dell Precision or Lenovo P workstation laptop with a cheap Quadro graphics card (like a P2000), 16gb ram, and i7 6 core

2/ An XPS 15 9560, GTX 1050ti, 32gb ram, i7-8750H 6 core

3/ A gaming laptop with GTX1060, 16gb Ram, i5/i7 4 core.. However one with a touch screen

Any opinion on which of these options would be best will be brilliant, or if you have any other model ideas that will be great!

Thank you

Hey, well in this case you can go for

•   Acer Aspire V17 Nitro
•   Lenovo Z70
•   Asus ROG G752VL.
•   Asus Transformer Book T200TA.
•   Lenovo Flex 4 Convertible Touchscreen notebook.
•   MSI Computer GE72 Apache Pro-029.

If you ask to me which to buy I will personally prefer CPU/Desktop but in case of laptop. I will go for MSI GE72

1 or 2, I would prefer memory. You shouldn‘t go for an i5. That‘s a great office processor.

What about AMD processors?

Their new Ryzen series is great. As I am thinking myself to purchase the AMD ryzen 7 2700x.

See here for the i5 and i7 differences. Intel Core i5 vs. i7 - Which CPU Should You Buy?

I did currently not follow the AMD vs Intel battle, but I think that theAMD processors are competitive. As soon as I consider buying a new system, I would look up the differences.

LOL . Not a fan of AMD I was just pin pointing out their new processor. Even I don't like battle about two things instead of battling we should enjoy what they provide

[Abambo]

I meant the Intel/AMD race for the best processor. Not a user battle for who has the best system. The processor is only part of that.
