Which Laptop to buy

rafe_28 · October 20, 2021

So me and my family is looking to buy a new Laptop as the current one is getting old and slow. I have tried everything but it just aint cutting it anymore.

But the problem is, that the Laptop market is very confusing rn so i have set out to configure one to my standards. But I cant seem to find any laptop rn that is reasonable and has the specs that are necessary. So I am once again asking for your help.

The laptop should be able to run Blender smoothly (powerful cpu around 8 cores and at least 16gb ram, rtx 30 series gpu) but also be light enough to be carried around in a backpack. tho the weight isnt as important because it is not gonna be carried around as much. if it is it is gonna stay at a hotel or wherever you are at rn until u leave. it therefore isnt a business laptop that someone would carry to meetings etc.

I have configured myself an XMG now (really, the only configurator i could find out there and also they are german meaning they got 100% german keyboards which is important for me) but i am still unsure about my choices. Or maybe someone knows of a better alternative to this XMG?

Stuff like the storage should be at minimum 500GB of PCIe capable SSD. but if its only a 500GB ssd there should be some sort of slower secondary drive like a sata ssd or hard drive included. or just a 1tb ssd or higher right out of the box.

The price is technically unlimited but it should stay reasonable (2000-ish€)

I am aware that this is kinda a lemme-google-that-for-you question but i dont know what to google so i am here to ask.

Link to the laptop is in the Spoiler becuase its long as heck

Ty in advance
