Good notebook for 3D animation/modeling

[Émile L.]

As a 3D artist I realized after leaving my house recently for a small trip that I needed to have a notebook for when I'm not at home. So I was wondering if anyone could suggest me a good notebook that could handle some medium to high poly meshes along with a few simulations/quite heavy renders at a reasonable price and a transportable form factor. I was thinking about the surface pro 3 but I think it might not be powerfull enough. My budget is around $1000 to $1600.

 

I mainly use Blender and Gimp but I will soon have to switch to Maya, photoshop and Zbrush for class.

 

Thank you

Any laptop with either a Firepro or a quadro or something similar will do just fine. Those laptops are expensive though.

Your English was perfect in the paragraph you typed

The programs that you use for modeling have support for CUDA?

Lenovo Y50, MSI GS-Series GS60(a better option). As I understood you aren't really going to do some complex and hardcore scenes, since you are a beginner, if you still use blender, I suppose. For a good, fast and stable work in ZBrush and Maya laptops for $1000> should be fine. They will handle those applications nicely. Although if you buy Lenovo Y50 you should consider changing the screen, since colours aren't quite right, which a big deal in CG, viewing angles are just bad.

 they use cuda  

Bonjour, êtes-vous ouvert à l'écosystème de mac? savez-vous si votre école utilise macs?

si vous préférez windows puis Dell est très fiable car la plupart des écoles utilisent les. 

sinon le y50 est une très bonne option (4k modèle), donne une bonne quantité de l'écran pour travailler avec. Sorry my French is bad i'm also bad at english

Well I render a lot of high poly meshes even though I'v been doing 3D for only a year now. The fact that I use blender is simply a personal preference. I own maya but the modeling process in maya is so much slower ( because it doesn't have as much keyboard shortcuts as blender ) and I find myself doing everything in Blender. Thanks for your suggestions tough I'll take a look at those laptops.
