Good news sir. Would you mind sharing the info about the laptop you bought?
Thanks!

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 15.6" Laptop Computer Platinum Collection - Grey.
AMD Ryzen 7 6800H 3.2GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4GB GDDR6; 16GB DDR5-4800 RAM; 512GB Solid State Drive.

Thanks for the info.

...ja, good news! -
at some point in "this game" there always comes a point where we have to catch up with our computers. -
A 16x to 32x speed boost is some leap.
Its a good time to move to 20xx or 30xx nVidia GPUs with the 40xx announcement.
Looking forward to seeing that Nadesico Cruiser getting some path tracing love!

Good to see you up and running on the new machine . Looking forward to new work
-
Thanks everyone!
I will be putting it into production by this weekend. I'm waiting on a new dock and then adding all the plug-ins I use, back to SU. My old dock only works on the old laptop. It's an old click mount dock.
New dock has the USB C that I need.

Already got a scene in mind!

1000 samples (passes) in 24 minutes. My... my head hurts.
I put a little more effort into this render and changed the lighting settings, which made it run even faster.

Real progress from the first post. Me likey!
-
Thanks ntxdave!
-
Excellent start with the new machine
-
Thanks tuna!
Again, these are just test renders. I see problems with both, but this is just to get an idea of what the new PC can do.

You are clearly on the fast track mate.

Thanks Mike!
Just got it set up with the new dock and it is now my desk production PC. The old one s going to the bedroom for late night YouTube.
Still need to load all the plug-ins back to SU and do some other tweaking, but the hard parts are done.

After a full week of testing and configuring the new laptop, here is the update.
