      Hi there,

      I am looking at buying a new laptop to run Sketchup Pro 2024 as well as V-ray for rendering. I am a Landscape designer and use sketchup a lot and would like to create 3D models as well as nice renders and animated walkthroughs.

      Would anyone know if this laptop would be sufficient to do the above?

      OMEN 16.1-inch Gaming Laptop 16-xf0058AX, Black

      Or has anyone got a good recommendation that might be in a similar price bracket.

      Cheers

        @Natural-Edge I just purchased an OMEN Gaming Laptop 16-wdOxxx and so far I am very happy with it. The processor is 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TN) i7-1362oH, 2400 MHz, 19 Core(s) 16 Logical Processor(s).

        So far it seems like everything I do in SU runs much faster. BTW: I also use the Skatter plugin for placing foilage. πŸ™‚

          @ntxdave Amazing thank you! I think I will look into one in that case. Do you do any rendering? Vray, Enscape etc?

          Any chance you have a link to the laptop you bought?

          Cheers

            @Natural-Edge Yes, I do rendering. In the past I used Twilight Render (still have it installed even though they are going to end at the end of the year) and now I am trying to learn how to use Rayscaper. I may look at some others going forward.

            Sorry, I do not have a link to the laptop, but I bought it thru Best Buy.
