Why would you want a gaming laptop for non-gaming purposes?
The IPS screen is mediocreand the other stuff is the usual “gaming laptop” quality
Better getting a good “business” laptop, like the Dell Precision
i really want just one computer, and i need something semi-portable. I could get a jacked up Mac Mini or build my own powerhouse PC desktop. But, I like laptops usability wise.
Rendering is a mix and is related to the software, drivers and the stuff you are using (effects and others). A lot of software vendors take their time with making it so it would be able to use the GPU efficiently
I’m trying to read and find out what GPU acceleration this software implemented and can’t find a lot. I see their requirements are a GPU with 128MB VRAM and Shader 4.0 specification compatibility, which is very old specs, meaning that it could be a small improvement
In their own support post (which is very dull), they use an I7, 4th generation and a GTX 745, which is really slow compared to what you’ve picked
Also, as said, the VX5-591G has a relatively low quality IPS display
BTW, “gaming laptop” is just a marketing thing. It has no real meaning. You could get a non-gaming laptop with better specs for gaming, for the same price.
I’d probably consider a good business class laptop with some GPU, like the Dell Precision 5510 or 5520, but you have to know what to pick
Is there any machine you are currently using and you are content with?
“Business” laptops usually come with some advantages - very good service and long term software support, as well as better build quality, keyboard and in this case, display. I can say it about the Latitude 74XX series and I guess the more expensive precision as well.
My 7440 has bios updates 3.5 years after it was released. Check out other, “gaming” laptops and try to find such a thing
BIOS and OEM software updates are usually trivial, it is true that it has a 4K touch monitor (even if with a size of 15" the difference is not much macroscopic).
Furthermore about the build quality there may be a difference only on the secondary parts because the “core” pieces are produced by the same manufacturers (intel, nvidia…).
