Experience choosing to buy a laptop for the graphics industry

How to choose to buy a laptop with technical graphics for students. Design brothers just started their career.

Hello friends, today I will write this article to help you choose a laptop for engineering with graphics. Because of the industry we have to choose special machines that are not like other machines. There are two options for you that I will guide you to choose accordingly

FIRST: If you are not familiar with computer hardware

If you are not knowledgeable about computer specifications and consider yourself ignorant and do not want to learn about specifications, then what to choose? Well, this is right for all needs, not just graphics

– Should have someone to buy with: For female friends, I recommend that you ask someone who is knowledgeable about computers, so ask them to buy with you, ask them to find the machine to find the machine with the optimal choice. Most of all, do they know whether to check hardware and software to ensure it? For example, thanks to me, I’m very enthusiastic about girls, but not guys.

– Should buy one that is commonly used and brothers in the industry should use it. Because when it breaks, there are things to change easily, for example, builders are too familiar with the dell precision M4800,7510, right?

Where to buy a machine for it to be reasonable?

+) If you have little money, don’t buy the machine at the supermarket

+) If you have a lot of money, don’t buy the machine at the supermarket

+) If you want to buy a computer to do graphics, don’t go to the supermarket

In my opinion, if you have little money, you should not buy a machine at the supermarket, the machine there is very expensive, and they give a lot of incorrect advice, because my friend also learns to quit when you have over 25 million, buy it. there and you should have computer knowledge to buy it, my friend there 20 million still only received the U chip, which was clearly said to do heavy graphics. Go to another place to install because there is almost no support there.

And if you bought a new machine but it’s a genuine one, I advise you to buy it somewhere cheap, I’ll come and beat it, because when it breaks, I take it to the company and fix it.

What if you buy a used machine?

+ First you buy into that store, see if the staff there has enthusiastic advice and service attitude there, then compare the warranty with those stores with the old laptop stores is different.

+ Do not buy the machine too old production (cpu should choose the 4th generation onwards) and as I said above, you should take someone along to let them check the best because the old machine that you have not learned will be very difficult to choose. .

When do you need to buy a macbook?

Macbook looks very beautiful and luxurious, high security and optimizes its available software well. However, when you have If you play games, do 3d graphics or use a lot of software with high calculation factors, you should not buy it, because when you buy it, you will receive an electric stove from Apple, which is quite convenient when you just have a computer. just got a stove to fry eggs and keep warm when winter is coming.

And if you do 2d, just buy it because it’s so beautiful

SECOND: You want to learn about hardware specs

And now when you are someone who wants to know the specifications to buy a laptop, I will help you choose specifically to buy the most suitable machine.

– To buy a good graphics machine, you should prepare the best over 10 million won Go because under 10 million we can still buy it, but the risk is very high because it is a very old machine. And I will give the recommended configurations you should buy when you see the machine.

CPU: should avoid chip U, Y if you don’t know why, there are dozens of articles on the internet explaining it.

Laptop with powerful CPU but you have little money: I 7- 4700MQ, i7-4800,4810,4900,4910MQ , i7 6700hq, … if the bigger the better, the higher the pulse, the better your rendering will be. I advise you not to buy an i5 of 8 generations or less even though it is HQ (i5 6300hq, i5 7300hq) because it multitasks quite poorly, so if you work hard, it’s weak right away, these kids can play games.

For you with 20 or more bulbs, you should choose at least i7-6820,6920hq i7-7700hq, Xeon E3-1505m,i7-7820,7920hq, 8.9-generation H-suffix chips

Ram: 8gb is the minimum, because now reading newspapers, surfing the web, watching movies also requires 8gb ram. If you’re a Pr playing game or just starting out, 8gb ram can still work a bit, I recommend at least 16gb ram.

It is recommended that you do not buy AMD’s CPU line on a laptop because its performance is not as stable as intel.

Storage drive: RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION FOR YOU is 256GB SSD and any HDD to store Japanese movies comfortably if you have the money to just install more. Still have to have at least 128gb ssd and no ssd can’t.

Graphics card: for less than 15 million, in my opinion you should still work in a workstation laptop Workstaion is still the best for both 2d and 3d graphics Why do I still tell you to choose even though the GTX card sounds like adobe better than quardo cards. Because of that, you buy some quality gaming machines that are not very good. When you have 15 million or more, buy a gaming machine as a new Adobe software suite or just buy a workstation.

The minimum hourly quardo card that you should buy k2100m,…

Card Geforce recommend to buy at least gtx 1050 4gb (960M is fine but it’s weak now)

Screen:

For those of you who intend to buy cheap gaming but come back to do pts and adobe graphics, I think it’s still not recommended because these monitors are very flattering, have a lot of wrong colors and very little color coverage. So for students, I think you still buy workstations to do 2d graphics because usually old workstations are cheap and its color coverage is also 72% (like some dell precision 7510,5510 etc.) term).

Buy a laptop for Render: No, guys, if you buy a few thick machines, it’s okay.

And here are some of my comments about the gaming laptops that you’ve been asking a lot lately and should they buy it or not.

Acer Nitro 5: Do not buy, because this child has a very stupid heatsink design, sounds like a good heat dissipation but the dissipation is not good at all.

Lenovo L340: don’t buy, this one is too bad to use heat, i5 is still hot, not to mention i7

GF63: rickety frame, only 1 cooling fan, very hot when used for a long time

Dell e65430, some m4700, (too old, don’t buy)

Asus fx/504/505: rickety frame, poor heat dissipation, flex keyboard.

And here are some on laptpop I recommend for your reference to buy to make technical graphics (Personal opinion)

Old machine or new:

-Dell precision M4800, HP Zbook g2, Think Pad W541 (this one is a bit old but temporarily acceptable), Dell gaming 7559,5577 about 15 million or less.

Dell Precision 7510,5510, HP zbook g3, Dell g7 7588, lenovo Legion y530, Dell G5, ThinkPad P50 (range 15-20 million)

Dell precision 7510(max option),5510(max option) ,7710 7520,5520,dell g7 7790 (portable), Legion y540, Asus ROG g531, Predator Helios 300 (running 8th generation cpu), g5 5590, etc. Actually, with a price range of 20 million or more, you try to pick a few stools. The high-end segment of certain brands is okay.

As for the money range of 30 million or more, I don’t comment much.

With this amount of money, I think you should build a PC to save money.

With 30 million or less, many stores already gave you configuration i9 9900k and rtx 2060 already.
