Hello I am starting to animate and edit videos, very enthusiastic about it! And I need to buy a new laptop. What CPU and GPU would be the most adequate to run, for example after effects or any other software that needs to render heavy stuff? Price is an important variant.

Hi, I want to learn how to graphic design. My laptop is not power enough. What is the basics necessities in a computer that you need for programs like adobe, cinema 4d, maya, etc...... i don't want anything fancy just something that will do the job. side questions: Is a graphics card a must? What cpu should i get? etc....

Hey folks! Been a while since I've needed some guidance on tech, so I came to the best of the best (that's y'all). I'm in the preliminary stages of building a home server and I want to dig ideas for an aesthetic. I'd like a wide variety of different designs, so go ahead and flood this post with anything and everything. Mini ITX or Micro ATX will "probably" be the board of choice, but that's up in the air. Could be 1U or bigger ... no dimensions are off-limits. Let's see what y'all got! Thank you in advance to everyone who contributes. You're all breathtaking. ~ J

I have a few questions if anyone is willing to answer. i need a PC or a Workstation maybe, that can be used by four separate users using their own peripherals, on four monitors mostly it will be used for a kitchen designing software currently, i3 and gtx 1050 do the job, with some minor problems can you suggest what is needed for this, in general, and some option for on-site backup, preferably to a some lan attached server software used does in fact support virtualization so harware part is where i'n not as experienced, at least with pro gear In normal PC terms i'm an advanced user, no problems there, even some networking is not a problem thanks people

A laptop that is not thin, but has enough room for cooling performance and a big battery. The housing can be produced cheaply along with good feeling keyboard and mouse pad. The cosmetics dont matter as long or feels good. I want the laptop designers to come up with a concept design and prototypes.

Dear All, I am contacting you all in hopes of some support in building a budget setup for my little brother. My little brother is an armature mid-career designer who self taught himself: Cinema 4D Adobe Illustrator / Photoshop Houdini Fx Adobe Aftereffects Autodesk Maya / 3Ds Max basic macroing... etc,,, He wants a PC setup that will allow him to further develop his skills and build his career in graphics designing and marketing... I request that you please send me of a configuration that will support above programs and not be too expensive. He wants performance... I would appreciate if the products you suggest are easily available in Saudi Arabia. I also want the PC to be easily serviceable or if needed upgradable.. If you guys can advise me on the build I would be very grateful. Hope you guys can support and guide here... Look forward to your kind response.

So I have a computer with two graphics cards and realized an issue with heat in theory. Graphics cards fans pull air up and to the side. This leads to heat build up on the back of the card, especially if you have a second card above it. Why do they not add a few holes through the pcb and have some air flow through and pull heat out in the direction dictated by physics as it would be cheaper energy wise?

Hey guys does anyone know how to change back the design of the Mail Icon to the old monotone one? The new one does not fit in the rest of the UI. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm planning to upgrade my PC for school so I can tackle AutoCAD better and eventually Revit in a year or 2. My current desktop can't do it anymore as my AutoCAD drawings are getting large and everything's getting slow. Location: Canada Primary Uses Now: AutoCAD, Office Suite, Web Browsing, Light Gaming, Photoshop 2D Primary Uses Future: Revit (probably in a year), and Adobe Suite but mostly Photoshop rendering for buildings Other Uses: I kind of want to play around in blender and see what it can do, and I usually don't turn off my PC ever since I use it as a media streaming/torrent machine too. Games I Play - The Sims 4 with a lot of CC, Cities Skylines, Civilization, and I might get Overwatch. I figure I don't need much to run all those on max settings at 1440p This is where I'm at currently. I don't know what to choose for a motherboard, I have the NVMe and the SSD listed because IDK which to get, and I don't know what case to get. The parts listed for $0 are parts from my current PC that I'm going to use for the next one. Budget is around CAD $2000 but I can flex it a little. I am very set on intel/nvidia since they tend to play nicer with my software. I'm trying to build a rig that can blast through the software that I use, and that is also quiet and cool. I have a Fractal Design Define R4 but I want to change it because I'm kind of bored with it since I've had it since 2014. I like non window cases though since I move the PC between home and school so it's likely to get scratched.

CPU - nearly identical to the i7-8700k which Linus says is a good option if you can't afford the i9 series. Cooler - heard from many it's a solid choice if you don't care about it's look. I want a case that's windowless so I don't care. RAM - It's cheap and from a good brand. I definitely want 32GB because I might be running CAD, Photoshop and other stuff like Chrome at the same time Storage - I just want more super fast storage but maybe I don't need it GPU - it's the cheapest of the newest lineup and it should be able to handle all my tasks well PSU - I might change this, but this is the one I've had running since 2014. Should I keep it or change it? I might need another SATA power cable though, I don't know where my original cables are.

I am looking for input on what possible jobs you guys do, or any ideas of where I should go. I have a very high end build that I am proud in and have a 1440p monitor that I can use great for coding, I am looking for pointers of different freelance jobs basically

I'm a graphics designer, I will build a pc within 3-4 months. I do casual gaming, so my main emphasis should be on adobe InDesign, illustrator and Photoshop. Which machine would you guys suggest me for next 4-5 years or so? I was thinking of going for an i7 8700 build with 16higs or ram, gpu won't be mandatory for my InDesign or ps because I use cs6 (older version) for my office compatibility, cs6 is not optimized for gpu usage, So I guess igpu would be enough to serve my purpose, there's also an option for Ryzen 2700x but I'm skeptical for my old cs6 optimization issue with ryzen cpus and how the ryzen will perform compared to i7 8700 because some benchmark shows i7 domitases on adobe photoshop yet I'm not clear about InDesign's performance, should I go for ryzen or intel? Or should I wait for 10th generation intel or ryzen 3000?

Hello! I am an industrial design senior and my first senior project is to design a computer that makes entering the PC community more accessible to the general public. I have a survey that would help me understand my audience a little better and your input would be greatly appreciated. https://s.surveyplanet.com/NPAfrO1nI

Hello, I'm currently looking for a laptop, mainly for digital painting and a bit of 3D modelling, and I'm in need of recommendations. Most of my time will be spent on Photoshop and the likes, and I will also do a bit of 3D modelling, not intensive ones. The specs that I'm looking for is initially a laptop with: CPU: Atleast an 8th gen i5/i7 RAM: 8GB Display with atleast 75% sRGB GPU is optional for me Budget is around $700-$900 I'm currently lost in the massive number of options that are provided. Do you mind giving me some recommendations? Thanks a lot!

PC Designing is hard to do occasionally, The starting Idea First you want to think up the ideas of the type of case you want to make, we need to know this to know the type of material we choose to use. Do you want to make a Case that acts as a leg or carrier for your desk? Alright then we'd have to use something, I'd recommend using Aluminum Square profiles for this or LDF. This due to the strength of the construction you can make - Be careful with using Acrylic panes on this design however. I myself wanted to make a big case that would envision what i wanted, i wanted a computer case with an extreme amount of distance between the motherboard tray - 2.5 millimeters, this because i want to have the ability to use another set of profiles to make a custom HDD and SSD Mount, now will this frame look great? Yes and no. Under here you will see the Google Sketchup file i made to show the design i made. - Know i am buying 1 meter long Corner Profiles of aluminum, and for the middle frame i am using a T profile of also aluminum to be able to make a build in tray for a PSU cover. But it also allows you to use Rivets to hold it together so if something is placed wrong you can drill them out and replace it correctly, or with another piece that would be more useful in it's place. The Materials Now we come to what i would call the starting of a fun time. We start to look back at what we wanted, how much space we wanted, and what for and what the case would be used as. Does it need to carry a lot of weight? Use triangles in the design, or use more internal frames. This will provide stability and allow it to carry more weight. Now I'd suggest using only aluminum profiles to make your case frame due to the ease of working with it. An angle grinder for cutting in size, and a drill for making rivet holes, and rivets and the rivet puller to put it together. On top of this frame we can put whatever we want, you want to make a big, bulky computer with wheels under it that looks cool? Go ahead and use LDF or Chipboard due to their strengths these are okay to use, and you can use a bigger rivet inside those too, or even screws on the inside of the case into the wood. But I'd advise again using aluminum, now most hardware stores in America sell Aluminum in sheets. but outside of America you have a higher chance of ordering them in size from one of them online - Which is what i am doing, this also allows you to get more precise cuts then if you do it yourself. Now for my case i will need 4 pieces of Aluminum that are 670mm long and 320mm wide due to the size of the case i am making, but if you want it to overlap the case make it 322mm due to being able to use another sheet of aluminum on the back, and a sheet of Acrylic on the other side. If you have a hole drill then you can easily use it to cut aluminum in most cases, otherwise you can find cheap 120mm drills on Wish or AliExpress for about €13,- so you can buy two and be sure to be able to put in holes for your fans in the aluminum sheets, now if you look at the front of my case, there is a big part of the case that is not divided, this is due to the fact i plan on putting a 360mm and a 240mm radiator in there, this is due to the fact i made the front part of the case [ divided by the T profiles in the middle ] to become a place for Reservoirs with nice looking designs one reservoir for any part of the pc you want to cool so you can pick them to have a different color. If not you can make a custom Water carrier block in it's size and put it in there for a nice design. Things to consider: How many fans do you want? Do you want to put radiators and fans in the bottom next to the PSU? Do you want to make a designed RGB plate somewhere? Do you want to run RGB Strips? - Another point for using the Aluminum profiles, a lot come in the correct size for putting in RGB strips on the inside of them to be hidden. Where are you going to connect your Acrylic window or glass window? How big of a Motherboard are you using? Do you need more cable management space? The Construction Process Now here comes everything into play we wanted to use before, and what we even designed this to be - realize that you will have less space inside then you think due to the fact you are putting profiles onto profiles! even fi they are normally around 0.5mm or 1mm think or even if you are unlucky 1.5mm thick, why is this unlucky? Rivets are nice to use but they can become expensive if you have to buy longer ones because the ones you bought were too short for the layers. So now you got your parts and you are putting together your profile - be sure to use your Fans to make the Fan spaces so you are sure you use the right size, or the radiators and fans to make sure you use the correct height and width of the case and its profile. After doing this you are ready to put your first rivets in, i would heavily instruct you to first make the Square frames on the outside and then the in between sizes just so you know that they won't be messed up due to the other things you do on the inside as you would have done the most important parts already. After doing that you can work on the Outside inbetweeners, the GPU carrier & PSU shroud part, This we do now becuse this would mainly be made from T frames and connects to the middle frame for the motherboard tray and the Mid case splitter for design. It also allows us to rethink anything now and then we can order the parts of the case outside. What are we going to use for the outside? That fully depends again on what you made it for. Are you making a wooden exterior? Good on you, it is both harder and easier to do. Due to the wood being normally thicker and heavier it will be able to be connected to a desk or couch easier or allow you to put actual wheels under it, but it makes it harder due to the heaviness of it and because it is WAY less forgiving with leaving edges that can make it look ugly, or the wood grain coming through can break it - take it from someone who made one entirely out of MDF before. Are you making it out of Aluminum? It is hard to find tools that are cheap to work with it - luckily you can use a lot of wood tools on it even though they break a lot faster. It can leave sharp edges, but with a dremel you can easily fix it. And with an angle grinder or dremel you can put in very easily some VGA slots and the IO plate hole that is in the correct size. Now what could be easier to work with, but harder to keep whole? Acrylic Plates, now a lot of you probably know how hard it is to work with it without making it bubble, or having weird edges. But it is easier to cut, all you need is an acrylic knife/scorer and if you take care you can make perfect edges and holes, even in a circle if you attache it to a Geometry compass - for drawing. That way you can have a perfect circle every single time if you know how to work with one. And one could argue if you get a piece big enough, you can make the entire outside of the case in 3 or 4 pieces of acrylic plate. I myself for one Would love to see Linus and Alex make a case like this or their own Dream case!

Hello, I am a long time watcher of LTT and finally decided to join the forums because I have a question I can not find a definitive answer to. We are ready to replace our CAD laptop workstations where I work, currently they are working on Dell Precision M6800 with i7-4710MQ CPU's, 8GB Ram, 250 Samsung SSD's and Quadro K3100M 4GB video cards. I am looking at two options to replace these computers, the first option is the Lenovo ThingPad P73 with an i7-9750H CPU, 16GB Ram, 512 NVMe SSd's and a Quadro P620 4GB video card or option 2 would be a Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2 with the same CPU, RAM and HDD but with a GTX 1650 Max-Q 4GB video card instead. My questions is what really is the performance difference between the Quadro and GTX? My engineers user SolidWorks 2019, AutoCAD 219 and KeyShot for design software. Could I get them the lighter X1 Extreme and still retain the performance of the P73?

Hey there! I'm looking for advice from people who know much more than I do regarding monitors and tech! I'm a video game sound effect designer and I need a few very specific things out of my mac / pc setup. Here's what I already have: - A PC I will be using for sound effect design (Geforce 970) - A 2016 Macbook Pro I will be using for mac-specific audio programs, and game platform testing - Keyboard and mouse Here's what I would love to be able to do: - Use one large decent resolution monitor for both my PC (display port) and macbook pro (HDMI) and toggle between those inputs while using the same mouse and keyboard - Have enough monitor space to comfortably view my digital audio workstation and the video / game window I will be designing in sync with - Run a 144 hz monitor for occasional gaming on the PC - Maintain low latency between the monitor and the computers, as listening to the timing of SFX with video playback is a priority Budget - 300-500 USD What would he ideal setup here be? I don't know much about what adapters / cables might allow this. Is it realistic to hope for all of this? I'd love to make it as easy as possible to smooth my workflow out and switch inputs quickly / not have to think too much about it as it would make my work day a lot easier! Thanks so much

Hi, Trying to build a new pc for myself for gaming to replace a old laptop I used for college and it has started to go out of date. I will also using it for Adobe software like Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom but mostly the focus will be gaming. The games I will be playing on it are CS:GO, Final Fantasy XXVI, Halo Reach, Borderlands 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare and etc. I am trying to lower the price as much as I can to make it affordable I was wondering if I can get any advice in lowering the price and/or any way ways to improve the system. Specs and price: CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 (£144.00) Motherboard: Msi B450 (£89.99) GPU: MSI Geforce 2070 Super 8GB (£454.50) SSD: Samsung 500gb (£80.99) - Plan to expand down the line RAM: Corsair 8GBx2 Vengeance (£89.99) PSU: Corsair cx750w (£76.49) Case: Nzxt h510 (£65.99) Monitor: MSI Optix 144hz (£161.99) - With this if you know of any cheaper options for 144hz let me know Also is it advised I use another CPU cooler rather than the one which comes in the box? (I don't plan on overclocking). Thanks for reading, appreciate your opinions!

EDIT: I have gone with the Lenovo X1 Carbon. Lenovo's outlet had an amazing deal on a $2,000 spec for $1,200 brand new. Thanks for your help! Every time I look for this answer, people keep recommending larger format laptops and I cannot seem to find a review that has helped me figure out what computer is right for my specific use case and hardware desires. I've also read through some of the stickies on this forum, not can't get a clear guide to what I should get. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give! Size & Portability: I want a 13-14" inch laptop. Portability is key here. Power & Use: In addition to basic every day tasks, I will use this laptop for some graphic design, so it'll need to handle the following programs (in order from most to least critical): Illustrator, In-Design, Photoshop, After Effects/Premiere. I have a desktop for heavy loads, so this is more for when I am with a client and they want to tweak something or see an alternative layout, or if I need to do some basic work on a plane, or when I want to work at a coffee shop for the day. I am pretty set on having at least 16gb of RAM (dual channel, please), as I often have a lot of instances of chrome open while also running Illustrator and Photoshop simultaneously. As for the processor and GPU combo, this where I get lost. I have no idea what processor is really right for my use case. I feel like a dedicated GPU will help with some of my workloads, but I honestly cannot tell if something like intel or AMD's integrated solutions would actually be enough. Keyboard & Touchpad: Touchpad feel is REALLY important to me. The last laptop I had was a Mac, and I've never used another computer that felt so good to use. But I refuse to buy a Mac now. So instead, I want the most fluid, accurate pad possible on a Windows platform. And the buttons shouldn't shake, wobble, or otherwise be a nuisance to use. For the keyboard, my biggest concern is that I do NOT want mushy keys or a flexible chassis. I'd rather not have a number pad, and back-lighting is a plus. Screen: 1080p is fine (don't need 4k at this size). However, it absolutely needs to be bright and color accurate. I prefer a matte finish, thin bezels, and 144hz if possible, but those are not critical. FutureProofing I like to buy nice and buy once. I am not interested in budget items that will last me two years and then fall apart. I want to buy hardware that will last me several years without falling apart or getting bogged down by future applications. Battery: I cannot stand laptops that die after a couple hours. It doesn't have to go all day, but it needs to get me through most of it. Budget: Rather not spend more than $1,600. Doesn't mean I want to spend that much, but am willing to if that's what it takes.

I am trying to design a futuristic power grid / power management system and I was not sure where to start off. I want to design a modular system that can grow for increasing load demands. Like I said I am not sure where to start and this is a big task I am trying to accomplish so any and all input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

an iconic refresh Microsoft has revealed all-new Office 365 app icons with bolder, lighter hues, combined with simplistic visuals and instantly recognizable symbols. each icon was designed to decouple the individual letters and symbols to maintain familiarity while keeping a focus on simplicity. Depicted as Human-centered designs that emphasize content and reflect the speed of modern life Microsoft tends to update the look of its Office icons every three to five years. the company last changed its design way back in 2013. new faces The new icon designs for Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Skype, Teams and more, will be pushed out to nearly one billion Office users across the world over the next few months, replacing the existing icons which were released in 2013. In my opinion this does look very refreshing & new. although a bit bold & opaque , it seems light & open & inviting at the same time , What do you guys think of these designs? leave a comment down below.

So these question(s) are a little nebulous but my understanding of CPU (and I suppose GPU) performance is equally as nebulous. I'd really love some help in understanding this!! From what I understand, "CPU Performance" is contingent on three things: Process Node, Frequency and Instructions Per Clock. For example, this Techspot Article measures performance in terms of IPC between AMD's Ryzen Chips and the Intel 8700k & 8600k, by limiting all the CPUs to 4.0GHz. I'd encourage you to look at their testing, but from what I can tell, in terms of just raw IPC, between the 2000 series AMD products and the Coffee Lake parts, IPC is a bit of a wash overall, both architectures will provide similar enough performance at 4.0GHz. So in this case, there is relative parity in terms of frequency and IPC, however the process node is different between Zen+ and the Intel Coffee Lake chips. So, would it be correct in saying that in general, GlobalFoundries' 12nmLP process and Intel's 14nm++(+) process are roughly equivalent in terms of performance? But the process isn't the CPU so measuring the "performance" of a process technology seems like a sort of stupid prospect, like how the hell do you measure the performance of a transistor? Regarding the process node part of the "performance triangle" as it were, how much does a process node really have on performance? For example, AMD's FX line of chips were pretty infamous for being underwhelming in terms of performance in a multitude of workloads, but those chips were produced on the GlobalFoundries 32nm process. Certainly AMD has a strong architecture to rely on with Zen, so there would be no need to do what I'm about to suggest, but I will for the sake of the argument. Would a 14/12nm FX chip see a performance gain of ≈50%? 14nm is over 50% smaller than 32nm.... Process nodes tend to increase frequency, we've seen that with the Ryzen 2000 series, and XFR 2's ability to boost some single core scenarios to 4.3GHz, a measurable improvement to Ryzen 1000. So would this theoretical FX14nm chip run faster or perhaps more efficiently? What does this say about "architecture"? (also thermals???) But then the idea of a "nm" gets thrown into question! This Wikipedia entry has a table listing all the different Semiconductor manufacturer's process dimensions on 14nm, and they all seem to be somewhat different. Like Samsung/GlobalFoundries' dimensions are 49x8x38 whereas Intel's dimensions for 14nm are 42x8x42. They aren't the same dimensions, so they must not all actually be 14nm! So what the hell does a "nm" really even mean at this point?? Okay but getting back to this whole architecture thing, certainly there are things that I feel like I can point to and say "That's an architectural element of the CPU". For example, AMD's Infinity fabric or Intel's Ring Bus, or integrating the northbridge into the CPU. But the thing is, I don't have an electrical engineering degree or anything of the sort, so I just have to accept the fact that these are engineer feats or something, which is hard to quantify because these things tend to be intangible. I'M SO LOST BRO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN Just how similar are different architectures, from generation to generation and from brand to brand? I've been under the impression that more transistors ≈ more performance, and again frequency is also important. So if the CPU (& GPU) business is effectively just a race to add as many transistors on a package, what does "architecture" even refer to? I suppose like anything, the concept isn't predicated on a single aspect of itself, so in this case, it's hardly as if CPU performance is strictly contingent on Frequency or strictly Contingent on Process Tech, it's probably a combination of all these elements. I'm just struggling to understand how exactly this all adds up. I'm sorry for the absolute RAMBLE this turned out to be, but I'm just really lost in terms of the meaning of "architecture" in terms of microprocessor technology. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Hey everyone! I have recently become interested in how PCIE cards are designed/made, and possibly designing my own card in the future, and I would like to know, does anyone have any good ideas on where I can find data on how to design PCIE cards? Because all I have been able to find so far on Google are some presentations that would be good for a large company and no actual design guides. I know that this a difficult, complex, and specialty subject, but I am interested nonetheless... Thanks in advance!

Hey guys I have this build I am planning to use, based on a build linus did a couple years back. I want to game and also draft on it. Please let me know what you think of this build, and if you think there will be a bottleneck anywhere or not, I dont plan to overclock the system. I have no system currently, and I have bought the case so far but nothing else and am 100% open to ideas or suggestions. I would like to stay around $2000USD. Here is my build: Core: Ryzen 7 2700x Motherboard: ASUS Prime x370 pro Ram: corsair cmk 16gx4m2b3000c15 v5.39 - 16 GB Case: phanteks eclipse p400s Power: evga supernova 850 g2 SSD: wd blue 250gb internal ssd Graphics: evga geforce 1070x I am planning on going with sli but will probably buy 1 card to start with and get the second later on. I will need all periphials, and would like to get 2 HD monitors.

I've been having a hard time finding ECAD software that focuses/includes tools for making integrated circuits rather then an entire pcb. Any help would be appreciated. Special focus on open source type tool suits would be nice.

Hey guys you know these ltt water bottles what is the design CALLED?
