Quadro P1000 VS GTX 1050 (TI)

[mcniek]

Hi,

 

I am looking for a new notebook which I am going to use for study (MatLab) and gaming (Heroes of the storm, Fallout 4, GTA V etc. favorably at 2560x1440). I have a good offer from my university. I can buy the HP Zbook Studio G5 for a price of 1198 euro. It has the following specs:

• Intel Core i7-8750H  (sixcore)  Coffee Lake
• 16GB DDR4 2666 MHz (1x16GB)
• 512GB SSD PCIe  NVMe 3 layer SSD
• Nvidia Quadro P1000  4GB GDDR5

I now have an HP Elitebook 8560w for 7 years and it still works okay at the moment. So the quality of this kind of laptops seems to be very good.

 

When looking online I see there are some offers to buy a notebook with a GTX1050 build in for the same price range (Asus VivoBook Pro N580VD-FY701T and the HP Pavilion Power 15-cb065nd which has a GTX1050Ti). This HP seems to have some reliability issues with the keyboard. I don't know anything about the building quality of the Asus. 

 

Can you help me decide which notebook is best for me? Are these laptops going to last for 7 years as well? Is an external GPU an option for me?

Of course workstation laptop has better build quality. Does your workload benefit from Quadro?

Very hard. With 8750H CPU and TB3 should be OK

Not really I think. I don't do any rendering things. Only the occasional running of Matlab/Python.

 

I just like the robustness of the laptop I have now and don't want to do a step back by buying a notebook which is not reliable

Workstation laptops cost more and have business oriented features.if you don’t need those features you can save a lot by using a consumer grade laptop with equivalent spec.

 

also look at laptops with an MX150 chipset GPu as they’re similar in performance to a gtx1050 (non-ti) and on a lot more laptops

I can buy the workstation for 1200 euro which is a discount of around 900 euro. So, it is not really the money which is the problem.

Thanks for the tip! But when looking at a comparison on notebookcheck I can see I pretty big difference between these two cards.

it's also build quality. business hardware is better built than consumer stuff. i have a HP EliteBook Folio 9470m and everyhthing still feels solid, even though it's quite old. the only thing i've had to fix was the thermal compound.

yeah, i thought that the mx150 was about the same as a 950M

Hello fellow TU Delft student.

So the real question here is Quadro P1000  vs GTX 1050ti , will a quadro perform better? compatibility will be worse but if performance is better its ok.... but  I dont think so...

I would get a GTX 1050ti over the Quadro.

 

You aren't running anything that will take advantage of Quadro specific features.

 

Everything else you chose is sound.

 

Quadros are not gaming cards and you will not get the same performance in games as you would with a card designed for it.

Also, don't listen regarding a MX150.

 

If that were the case, then people like me wouldn't be getting 1050ti based laptops.

 

Not to mention, if you want performance, you should not be going the ultra-book route, which is what the MX150 is designed for. You want something with proper cooling if you plan to drive any performance requiring tasks.
