Looking for 6-8 core CPU Laptops

[Erfsh]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a laptop with 6 or 8 core CPU with 16GB RAM that is mainly for rendering works.

My budget is 1000$ and I really don't care for discrete GPU.

It doesn't matter Intel or AMD. Any suggestions?

You should be nowadays majority of rendering work can be harware accelerated by a GPU and that provides more than significant results.

 

That said it'd be helpful to confirm your country of residence so we know better where to look at.

Lenovo Legion Y540 with a 9750H is the best within that budget.

Do you think with a 1000$ budget is it possible to get a decent GPU for rendering?

I'm considering Lenovo IdeaPad L340. If I upgrade it to 16GB RAM. Anyone had any impression on this model?

TheL340

but dont look solely at the performance and hardware. you need to figure out how the thermal works on the L340.

You are right about the thermals. L340 looks a bit sketchy with the only bottom vents.

Y540 seems overall better but more expensive.

L340 basically an ultrabook. Y540 is gaming. two fan quad heat pipe.

I need it to be easily portable, but battery life is not a great issue.
