Hi, I've been shopping around for a laptop that's versatile and strong enough to handle both rendering and high poly count for using with Zbrush, Maya and other 3D applications. On my own search I narrowed it down for this.. keeping in mind its price/performance and I wasn't looking to spend over $1600 for anything unnecessary.
Sager Notebook 2096
-15.4 inch 1680x1050 screen res
-Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53ghz (6mb cache opposed to 2.4 3mb cache)
-4GB DDR2 800mhz Ram
-nvidia geforce 9600M GT 512mb HDMI output (only videocard that goes with it, seemed decent > HD3870)
-200GB 7200rpm HD
-2GB intel turbo memory ( $50.. was curious how well it does? essentially it sounds like iRam)
-wirelesscard, blah blah, bluetooth as well.
-windows vista home premium
Credit Price 1497.00
Cash price 1434.00
I figure that gives me all the ram I'll ever need to run ram intensive programs like Zbrush, I don't plan on doing a whole lot of rendering on it as a laptop.. I do have a desktop I'll probably use that for... Any thoughts or suggestions be great, thanks!
