Should be reliable and last at least 5 years. High refresh rate screen would be a nice to have. I already have a pc at home for intense rendering. A dedicated graphics card.

I'm looking to get a new laptop for when i go into architecture in university, specifically, RMIT arch. Does anyone know if a macbook pro is good enough for smaller tasks? I will have a decent pc at home for the heavy stuff like rendering. Also, if I do simpler things on Mac, will the project files sync with my pc so I can continue at home? Or should I get a windows laptop and do the work on that?

I'm looking to get into architecture in rmit next year and wanted to get some advice for a good laptop for this course. I heard that there's some pretty intensive programs, like rhino. I do have a pc at home where I can do some additional stuff, but how much modelling/intensive work would I be doing on the laptop?

I keep seeing so many mixed comments on the different cygnuses.

Some say the titus is by far the best, some say titus is worse than the apoc and wzm.

These are the 4 im looking at:

Apoc Al

Apoc Ti

Wzm

Titus

Apocalypse al is the cheapest one i think? and its in stock with a lot of variants. I heard the Ti model is decent but its pretty handle biased.

Any insight into the diff models would be helpful 🙏

Saw there was a brand named "Paodin" on AliExpress selling the cygnus. Anyone know what this brand is? Is it like the Chinese name for another well known brand like titus
