BEST 6: Mobile Workstation 2019

[@tupaicindjeke275]

I still have my HPZBook17 from 2014. A real power house...

[@samirmalek4141]

For video editing , photo editing, programming with multiple virtualization environments is it recommended?? If not, which laptop should I highly purchase ?

If that's what you're primarily doing, youd be best off getting a laptop with an xeon processor. The xeon has slower single core performance than a standard i3/i5/i7/i9, but it has typically twice as many cores with hyperthreading. Doing all of those things you need requires a lot of chores. Depending on your budget, I'd opt in looking at the Dell 7540, or 7740 series laptops with either an Xeon E2276 or E2286 CPU, and atleast 16GB of 2600mhz DDR4 ram. GPU really doesn't matter too much in video editing type stuff, but I'd also say to get an M.2 SSD with atleast 512GB of space. I'd utilize an external SSD or HHD to store actual videos since they take up sooooo much space and a larger M.2 with 1TB can run upwards of $1000. With all of those added in, you can get that 7540 PC from dell for roughly $2,200, but you can customize it as much as you want to make them cheaper or full blown expensive lol. I'm currently using a 7540 as a mobile workstation for solidworks, autocar, remote ansys, and a few other heavy applications and it's been nothing but great. I also built my own workstation desktop which will blow any laptop out of the water, but it's also a $7,000 machine lol

m d Haha , That's an expensive one! I would love to see your rig ! Kudos on that !! 💪🏼 Yea, I have something similar in my mind. Getting dell xps 15 7590 4K OLED screen i7 9th gen , GTX 1650 4GB Graphics 16GB 2666MHz RAM upgrading storage to 2TB NVMe and RAM to 32GB 2666MHz , making it buttery smooth in performance and later on transformation in docking setup using tb3 . 2nd Option is Using ASUS Zeyphrus S GX502gw rtx 2070 8GB VRAM with memory of 32GB 2666MHz dual channel . this machine as USB C with 65W PD, mini display port , HDMI port , and few USB ports (gen2) making it easy for connecting to external monitors. Option 3 is MSI GE75 i7 9th gen , rtx2070 with 3 NMVe slots for storage making it easy for separate virtual environment and memory upto 64GB 2666MHz . All these I am getting with sacrifice of tb3 . Also, Xeons processor based laptop are out of budget and I am not familiar with these types.

[@samirmalek3559]

m d , also I would have to import from US , which makes it more costly.

for this (no gaming, no video edition), dont burn money with a big GPU : focus on best cpu (90% high perf single thread for photoshop and very little impact with GPU. No difference with photoshop between P620 or P3200).

[@kriveseekentertainment678]

Great info! Thanks!

[@ishantseth737]

What about surface book 3 ??????

[@ChristvsVincit]

What about no :D Google benchmark on surface cpu performance

[@aaposour3305]

precision7740 cpu temp can be99。 is very often and easy!

[@connorburke5761]

Does it throttle when the temperature is that high, or does it just get that hot?

[@glenn3646]

What about helios 500 amd ryzen?

[@sketchygaz]

they're good for playing games, but I ain't saying they can't render but compared to a workstation render times really do matter, I'd take any workstation over a gaming laptop., helios is really nice laptop though if you want a gaming laptop, Asus Rog strix scar 3 would be a good contender.

[@martinkim5411]

Why there is no P53? Now P53 is the best, I think.

[@Userdoesnotexit]

nah the thinkpad is lol

[@staggeredgore9910]

all thermal throttle

Gëzim Islamaj buying a baking laptop wouldn’t always be the best option for someone looking for a powerful laptop

[@YR7A]

@@gezimislamaj5309 uhh lmao no, the only difference between a workstation and gaming laptop is the GPU. workstations use quadro cards, which have the same exact processor, just tweaked differently. it'll preform the same, if not better than the gaming equivalent. and the main draw to workstation laptops instead of gaming laptops is that they're minimalist, they don't have flashy RGB, or fancy colors. and in some cases the keyboard is much better. TLDR: you're wrong and some workstations preform better at gaming than dedicated gaming laptops.
