Quote from: edmunddean on September 13, 2024, 19:03:26For your needs with 3D modeling software and using a 3D scanner, you'll definitely want a laptop with strong processing power, a solid GPU, and plenty of RAM. The Dell G15 is a great choice for performance, but as you mentioned, the weight can be a drawback if portability is important to you. sprunki moddedThank you for the reply.
If you're looking for a balance between power and portability, I'd suggest looking at the Dell XPS 15 or Dell Precision 5000 series. The XPS 15 is known for being lightweight with powerful specs, including dedicated GPUs and high-end processors, which would handle your 3D tasks efficiently. The Precision series is designed specifically for professionals like yourself who need reliable performance for intensive tasks such as 3D modeling and scanning, and it offers workstation-level power in a relatively portable design.
I'd also recommend looking for at least 16GB of RAM (32GB if possible), a dedicated graphics card (NVIDIA RTX series would be ideal), and a high-quality display for better color accuracy when working with models. This should give you the right balance between power and portability.
