- Like nose and ear hair this issue just keeps coming back! Let's have another talk about the issues surrounding the purchase of gaming or pro based systems for professional use.

That cat hair is still attached to my face to this day, it lives there now. The joys of having 2 long haired rag dolls.
Your argument is valid and I agree with what you said , But it feels like a monopoly, It's like you are a freelancer or a student then the prices are a fraction of what large businesses should pay for the same service , It's a convenience and a more valuable proposition that cost 2 times the price , So in my opinion it's over priced for sure , If it's 20% more expensive then it's fine , but just because it's more convenient to buy the professional laptops for almost worst specs and to decrease the failure ratio by 10% at best , the companies that made these laptops gain 2 times of what they gain on gaming laptops , Cost for consumers do not translate to the cost for manufacturing .
Thanks for your video it helped me tremendously keep up the good work
I build my own workstations, have for years. And you are absolutely correct, as a one man band, I am ok with the risk over cost. I also understand the necessity of a multi user environments need of reliability in their hardware. Not sure what the tipping point is that makes a client a risk to cost decision. Great job as usual. God bless, stay well.
FIRST: Lots of respect for being honest and acting with integrity regarding this industry conundrum, thanks for putting truth ahead of marketing and being a sponsored youtube puppet.
I need a business machine with good performance, but I refuse to buy a laptop covered in RGB nonsense and silly branding.
great video bro
Excellent explanation!
I can really appreciate what you are saying. I have crashed only once in my life, a real crash. I had to go to my computer guy and he was able to capture almost all my files from the hard drive. So I learned how to deal with that. If you are a big time firm I can see how it would hurt your company. I have a backup system that I run only when I have a completed file. That way I don't have many hours on it. My biggest problem is once in a while my computer will close down and lose my work for the last 2 hours. so I am constantly saving my work. I hate losing 2 hours of work done. Thank you for your time. Later.
Hi, Really like your to the point and insightful videos, may it tech or Austodesk. Must say the watch 4 no gap band looks really good.
Just based on
Right - the tradeoff is speed & noise vs. reliability, updates, & build quality
Thanks, Neil, Great work mate.
Would be nice to have a video with your opinion on those new Ryzen 3D processors, even more now that there is one for laptops as well. Does it affect Autodesk Inventor performance?
Honestly the Lenovo Legion 7 looks like a good workstation replacement gaming laptop. Doesn't really look like a gaming laptop, disable the RGB lighting and I could see it easily fitting in a corporate setting. Aluminum case with an RTX 3080 with 16GB VRAM would be pretty good for any 3D application that doesn't require a professional GPU. When my Precision 7740 bites the dust will definitely look at a gaming laptop like that.
I value your opinion - you can spew away; no editing required!! 😃
I use an Alienware M18 R1 as a professional machine. Previously I had a Precision 7670 with 3080Ti but it can only really sustain 30W CPU + 80W GPU before thermal throttling. With the M18 the aesthetics are good enough with all RGB disabled. I do not use AWCC as it is too unpredictable and instead have an open source control tool that reverse engineered the control protocols. I also had to repaste it myself to fix out of the box quality control issues. Windows 10 22H2 unofficially works. Technically you can use the new 48GB SODIMMs in it to get a maximum of 96GB memory. Having back-side power and TB4 ports for a tidy dock setup is actually an upgrade over the latest Precision design too for me. I feel like its a bit superior to the GT77 and other gaming laptops as it does have onsite warranty (up to four years) and periodic driver and bios updates.
I understand the software certification and lack of experience on the end user argument, however there are a few caveats. You could simply buy two computers for every other employee and have a stock of backups for the inevitable yet rare instance of a failure and you still would be saving a huge amount of $$$. Simply hand someone a new computer vs troubleshooting and sending the computer back to Dell for a possible replacement. The responsibility also falls on the IT department to spec. a computer properly. I was recently given a Dell Precision 5570 as an architectural BIM manager with a Quadro A2000 card with only 8GB of v-ram. Most of my downtime is now due to lack of performance waiting on the computer to process work versus a complete failure. Those few additional minutes or even hours can add up in to huge cost. This probably is more of a rant against my company's IT department; I just wanted a Razer which is 2x more powerful at 1/3 the cost.
Is intel A770 graphics card any good for moderate level CAD & rendering tasks?
Heeeey Crossy, you might remember me from your tna days. We've just gone to the Lenovo P16 Gen 1 laptops for the engineering team. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on them. We've had a lot of teething issues, a lot of it being software related. The graphics card is an absolute beast, should destroy most CAD tasks, but is it designed for CAD or just high end gaming? Due to the issues, the team have been having, it's suitability is a hot topic. Because its Lenovo we've had good support, but up to the point that there's nothing physically wrong with the laptops. Also, we've finally upgraded from 2018 to 2023 Autodesk suite so quite the jump. I head up the distribution team now so any tips, pointers, training (budget pending) would be appreciated. Alex
