Best laptop for rendering/number crunching?
Eurocom Panther 5, with an 8 core Xeon CPU (150 watt E5-2687W 3.1 ghtz base, 3.8 turbo)
Don't plan on the battery lasting long....
It will run circles around any I7. Even overclocked I7's....
They are expensive, portable workstations.... Very expensive.....
For the rest of us, we have to settle on more affordable alternatives...
HP offers the Elitebook series I7 notebooks that run at the same speeds as desktops.
XIcomputer.com builds some screamers for decent prices as well.
Rendering either comes down to the number of cores and the speed they run at, or the power of the GPU if a GPU based render engine is used.
Some things are easy to explain, other things are not........ <- Store -> <-Freebies->
