BEST LAPTOP FOR PROCESSING

Post by c2a »

We need to process on location so desktop towers are not possible. We've been using a 3-year-old Surface Pro with Cyclone R360 and Recap to register, process and output point clouds and I think it has done fairly well despite its weaknesses.

We're ready to invest in a powerful mobile workstation and have been considering MSI. Which manufacturers and models do you think are worth considering?

Asus ROG series is worth a look too.

I use a Lenovo ThinkPad P series (P52, 2 years old) and I'm not disappointed...

I use the Razerblade Studio 10 gen intel cores 16 VT. 64 gigs of ram, RTX5000, 4TB NVME drive (keep in mind this is a double sided drive so won't work for all machines). I have completed many large scans without issue.

i don't think for these two software you need anything then a decent cpu, you will be fine with a simpla gtx 1660/1650 for most of the cases...

you will need as much memory as you can get. Maybe buy a laptop with low amount then upgrade it yourself... and a lot of storage. you can buy later m.2 drives and replace the original ones...

We are using Dell Precision 7520 series and beyond for this task.

For ReCap you should not worry too much about a high-end laptop. Our experiences on a different kind of newer and older computer with different kind of configurations doesn't show the 'want/must have' factor for high-end hardware.
