Whatever not an issue
- Purpose
ArcGIS and Qgis
- Form factor
Standard or gaming maybe?
- Intended usage
As I mentioned earlier my partner needs to move into arcgis and unfortunately her macbook pro doesn't run the desktop version. That is the main intention/requirement of the laptop and I am not heavily educated on what kind screen, or vram this program might require for high performance so if anyone has experience that would be appreciated.
- Desired battery life
Not a huge deal. I would build a desktop PC but i want her to be able to have it portable for any future job opportunities or if she wants to work from the library or cafe's.
- Performance is the most important factor probably followed by screen type for arcgis but i don't think that will matter much. We have a 4k hp420 monitor too. Battery and size can be compromised.
- Info/Requirements
I have built aPC with a Ryzen cpu and Nvidia gpu so I would prefer that route of hardware just because i understand it. IF there's something much better price-wise with intel or amd etc please include it in your recommendations!
Thanks a lot legends!
