  • Laptop workstation suggestions

    Hi all,
    my company asked me to think about a mixed solution of home and company site working, with most of the time spent at home and some days in office.
    At the moment my working setup is : 1 workstation + 2 powerful render nodes.
    So, I'm thinking to a "mobile" solution where I can use a powerful laptop as workstation and still use the rendernode through internet, keeping the same efficiency when I'm both at home and in office.

    Considering that I'm working on retail interior design, do you think it's a doable solution?

    Have you some laptops and tips to suggest me for this kind of setup?

    Thank you very much

    any of the recently announed AMD 5000 RANGE cpu'S WITH rtx 3080

    For example this one:
    https://store.asus.com/us/item/20210...C-G733QS-XS98Q

    or one with even better refresh rate and double the drive space:
    https://store.asus.com/us/item/20210...C-G733QSA-XS99

    Note these 2 both come with 32GB Ram and an RTX 3080 16GB of VRAM. Pay attention to this. because some other versions only come in 3080 8GB versions.

    Apparently these new laptops with AMD 5000 range CPU's together with the 3080 are much better designed to sustain longer punch at 100% workload

    May struggle to get stock though as they're brand new

        Thank you Morne for the suggestions. It seems a nice laptop.

        piotrus3333 Vray as the rendernodes haven't got any GPU useful for any kind of rendering tasks... they're serverblades format with Xeon with 40core (80thread) each.
        A good GPU should be just for working smoothly on the scene and for a future use with some realtime engine.
