About the purchase of Dell series notebooks

[Alongsuo]

Hello everyone, I need to update my computer recently due to work needs. I have bought Dell brands before, so I want to continue to buy this brand this time. But now due to work needs, facing the many series of products under Dell, I am caught in the vortex of choice barriers, so I would like to ask for your opinions here

Now due to work needs, I will use some 3D modeling software, and I will use 3D scanners to scan models and modify some models later. I use Revopoint's modifier

Therefore, the computer configuration requirements I want to buy are higher. I currently prefer G15, but considering the portability, I remember the bad memories of the heavy weight of the G3 I bought before. So I want to balance performance and lightness.

If anyone has used other series of products, I hope to give me some good suggestions, thank you very much.

For 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.

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.
