I’m with you. I never know which one to pick. Would love to know if someone has put together a complete guide on how to determine the best one.

both 15 look pretty good. But with recent printers, I don't see these tests doing anything anymore.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

• What printer are you using?

• What material are you using?

• What speed are you printing at?

• What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

• When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

• Does anything cause the behavior to change?

• If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

If you are new to reddit, please read the guidelines on reddiquette, self promotion, and spam.

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!

Did you measure any of them?

I would pick 20 and do a second pass. 15 looks great, and 10 has a little underextrusion, so anything below 10 is not good.

Macbook Pro M1 (Minimum) najbolje tipa M2-M4 zavisi šta naðeš. Sad će masa da piše kako je mek sranje, lenovo legion 19817xd je bolji itd ali stvarno kao neko ko se bavi video produkcijom, 2D i 3D animacijom MacBook all the way.

Zašto? -Baterija traje baš dugo -Ekran - perverzija

• Kvalitet izrade - perverzija
• Softwer - perverzija (optimizacija) -Hardwer - perverzija

itd itd ali da

Kao što je neko pisao, bolje sklopi desktop solidan i onda neki kršić od laptopa samo za prezentacije. Promisli dobro koliko ti je bitna mobilnost. Ako je u pitanju grupni rad, kolege koje su imale laptopove su mahom dolazile kod mene koja sam imala komp. Ljudi su većinom imali neke osrednje laptopove i frustrirani su bili konstantno. Moj je momak imao dobar asus gejmerski laptop (oko 2k ga je platio), težak kao tuč, debeo, ventilatori su otišli posle malo više od godinu dana - na njemu gejmovano i renderovano. Nema pravila, ali ako nemaš solidnu cifru za laptop, nemoj to da radiš.

Idi na konovo sajt. Moje društvo je tamo uzelo think pads za relativno male pare (svi se bave gejm dizajnom). Kada moj laptop rikne verovatno ću i ja

Nema "obicnjih" laptopa vise koji to mogu izdržati. Imaš ili srot ili gejmerske, oni između ne postoje vise kao sto su samo pred 7 godina. Ja sam iz tog razloga uzela gejmerski Asus nitro 5. Odličan je ali jedina mana je battery life. 2 sata i laku noc. U prijevodu stalno mi mora biti ukopcan.

Laptop mi se uvijek čini kao loše rješenje za bilo kakve profesionalne art poslove, a posebno za 3D renderiranje. Da ne govorimo da za iste pare obično uvijek možeš kupit dvaput bolji PC od laptopa.

A na kraju krajeva... kol'ko para, tol'ko muzike. Pitanje je koliko možeš iskeširati. Eto, taj kupi koji toliko košta. :D

Atafute Gaming Laptops atakuwa set minimum 2GB graphics card

Let him look for a HP Victus or any gaming laptop with an RTX card, 4 gigs minimum. Victus is good for the buck if he can import from USA on ebay or amazon: https://www.amazon.com/HP-Display-GeForce-Backlit-Keyboard/dp/B0CFSBT85B?th=1

HP ZBook Studio G5 32GB RAM || 512GB SSD || intel Xeon processor || 4GB NVIDIA Quadro P1000 GPU

ASUS ROG should do the job

>For $620, prioritize refurbished workstations (Dell Precision, HP ZBook, Lenovo P52) with NVIDIA Quadro GPUs (P2000/P3200) for stable 3D rendering in 3ds Max. If Lumion/Twinmotion is the focus, a used gaming laptop (GTX 1660 Ti/1650) like the Acer Predator Helios 300 offers better real-time performance. Check eBay, Amazon Renewed, or Back Market for deals. Key specs: 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Quadro/GTX GPU. Avoid ultrabooks—opt for upgradeable machines. If possible, stretch to $700 for a GTX 1660 Ti (better for heavy rendering). Always verify GPU benchmarks and cooling before buying.

Seems good and future proof for atleast 5 years if not more.

Looks like it. What software do you plan to render with? That will determine how suitable the laptop is. Generally if you plan to use enscape or D5, gpu renderers, then get a laptop with a good graphics card with high VRAM. Typically 6-8GB is good

the apple fans will say go for a macbook and many designers for some age old customs still prefer macbooks and iMacs. Well, if your budget allows, go for the fancy stuff to showoff.
But there are a lot of better options with Windows. My preference, would be to go for

1. a good dual monitor setup with a true color screen (at least 27 " - curved is an overkill and unnecessary).
2. at least 32 GB ram,
3. an SSD without fail,
4. A decent graphics card (NVIDIA or Radeon you don't need gaming standards here)
5. For the processor,
   1. Intel - go for at least i5 (i7 or i9 is better, but will output more heat and poor on battery life (if mobility is your priority. Usually for designers mobility is not a priority, as they prefer doing the creative work connected to the larger screen). Remember to look for processor numbers ending with the letter K, X, HK, HX, H, or P and not U
   2. AMD - go for at least the 5 series. Again same trend on power consumption and battery life as with the Intel. Remember to look for processor numbers ending with the letter X or H
6. for ports, look for at least 1 thunderbolt 4 port (in case of intel) or USB 4 (in case of AMD)

Combining all these specs, it is difficult to find such a laptop in India. Even if you do, the price will be prohibitively expensive due to the various import duties and GST. If you know someone in the US / Europe, buy a laptop during black friday sales in Nov and hope they carry it for you. Alternatively if you shop on Amazon dot com (not Amazon dot in) , set the delivery address to India, there are a few sellers who will handle the transportation and customs clearance. It will add to the base price of the laptop, but still you get some good laptops which cant be found in India.

My recommendation though would be to invest in a good custom built desktop as you will anyways be tied to a large screen. With desktops, you can buy, replace, repair, and upgrade individual parts as your budget allows and as newer models become available. Store your files to the cloud, and then for mobility to show your designs, have a decent budget laptop (between INR 75K - 1L) for presentations.

Get a gaming laptop with atleast rtx 3050 16gb ram and I would also recommend gettin a tab Get a wacom tablet you're alll set

For blender and adobe my gtx 1650 worked pretty fine(had to upgrade to 16gb ram tho) but I'd recommend an rtx 3050 or 4060(if ur planning to go work more in blender so it renders faster) tho generally a 3050 should be good enough

It depends on which software you use.

actually, any laptop can be used for rendering using renderfarms

Totally get you on the Mac thing—some folks love the ecosystem, others just want to right-click in peace 😄

If you're doing rendering, animating, sculpting, etc. (so we're talking Blender, Maya, ZBrush, maybe even Unreal?), you’ll definitely want something with a strong dGPU (like an RTX 4060 or higher), 32GB RAM minimum if you can swing it, and a high-refresh or color-accurate display if you're doing anything visual.

As far as brands that bring the power AND don't melt after a year, here’s a quick cheat sheet:

• Lenovo Legion / ThinkPad (P-series) – Great thermals, solid build, easy upgrades.
• ASUS ROG / ProArt StudioBook – Performance beasts, sleek enough to not scream “gamer”.
• MSI Creator series – Designed with creatives in mind (and solid cooling).
• Dell XPS 15/17 – Pricey, but premium feel and display. The XPS with an RTX GPU can handle most creative tasks.

Avoid ultra-thin laptops unless you like your legs being toasted during a render 😅

I put together a no-nonsense guide on my blog for creatives and devs like you. Might help cut through the noise:

Hope that helps—and may your viewport always stay smooth!
