Hi all,
New here, just want to say great site and read some nice articles on hardware for Blender and 3d in general, very informative for someone not very tech-savvy like me! I'm just starting out using Blender, rendering in Cycles and post in photoshop for Archviz, interior concept, and architectural environment concept design. I guess the environment concept design is quite heavy using addons such as graswald and botaniq but not sure how heavy with respect to hardware requirements.
I think I would prefer a desktop purely for upgradeability and cooling but at the moment I need the mobility of a laptop so will have to go with one. I was looking at the following:
Lenovo Legion 5, 15.60", Full HD, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, 16GB, 1000GB SSD m.2 2280, nVidia GeForce RTX 3060. I'm in Switzerland and it retails for CHF 1399, approx USD 1550.
It seems pretty good value, do you think the above spec is adequate? (or even overkill?!).
Also, if going with a laptop will the cooling be adequate for the work I plan or should I be concerned about potential thermal issues? If there is a chance of prematurely killing the machine or reduced performance to the extent that my workflow will suffer then I might have to look at a desktop and sacrifice the mobility.
Many thanks,
Nick
