Hi all, I’ve combed through the forums for a few days and need your advice. I quit my job in NYC after 8 years to go full time freelance! I’m a designer: architectural and interior and have a steady lineup of freelance work. I only have $1000 dollars to spend right now on a decent laptop. Are the…

Ok that is great to hear. I’ve never had a problem with Dell, so that’s what I will pick. Thanks so much!

Glad to Hear you are managing to get out of NYC., 𝘈𝘕𝘋 have your work ‘lined up’ and defined. If you are able, would you share how you accomplished this? There are likely several other old farts like me that 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 want full time work or to compete, but might enjoy an occasional project that was act…

I’d recommend the Mac Mini with 2.8GHz Processor & 1TB Fusion Drive. :astonished: [47%20PM] "Plug your own display, keyboard, and mouse into Mac mini. Turn it on. And just like that, everything works together. " [2] [image] Mac mini Mac mini has the Apple M1 chip with 8-core CPU, …

Hi all I have decided that it is worth spending a bit more money and not replacing for a long time. I just want to make sure this will run my copy of Sketchup and Vray (and Photoshop) as I have never used a computer with “Windows Pro Workstation for 4 Cores”…I assume it just uses the processor? And…

Hi Jessica The Mobile Precision system will run those programs. It’s a ‘workstation-class’ but in real world tests it wont perform faster than gaming machines which cost less. Actually the Quadro P2000 is slower than a GTX1060 (i’ve tested it with sketchup) Workstation machines do tend to be a bi…

Sam thanks for your note! You think getting a less expensive gaming system is the way to go then?

The Dell site is such a mess, and impossible to understand the configurations. I assume that is intentional. What about the XPS15 with 32 gigs of ram… [image] Shop: Dell Site Map of All Products, Solutions & Services | Dell USA Shop all categories on Dell.com. Explore the site map to fi…
