Turns out to basically be an ad?... Is there a reason you didn't include "Dell Precision 7750" in the headline?

Something to consider for portability I usually stream my desktop to a cheep laptop (and phone as a additional safety net) so if I need to be somewhere or meet with a client I can still access the programs and the powerful hardware in my desktop along with the piece of mind that if I loose the laptop I still have all my files and a way to work on my projects with easy upgrade paths in the future and not having to dish out hundreds if not thousands if I lose my laptop I can just buy another cheep one same day even especially if I'm far away from home or in another country and just continue working with out hiccups

Obviously this isn't for everyone but definitely something to consider if you have the ability to do this

Thank god….a video that cuts the fluff and gets to the point!! From someone very new to CAD programs and 3D printing…..THANK YOU SO MUCH. You answered all my question and I didn’t have to watch a 30min video what go “wait what?” At the end lol.

[jamescullins]

Is there a mini PC that you would recommend for Fusion 360?

[txlec]

thank you so much for this. im sure there's been alot of people wondering and very curious to know including myself as a 3D artist. thank you so much for the time and effort its very insightful.

I used to buy apple. Now I need a windows computer for solidworks here in college. It's crazy, how none of the apple owners know what to buy or how to make that decision. You simply trusted apple.

I'm not sure how this video showed up in my feed. Since switching to Onshape, hardware selection is simply something you never have to worry about every again.

So you basically just pointed out what Autodesk and Dell suggest on their sites and Dell gives you a laptop for all that hard work? Brilliant.

Great video quick question for you. I draw cad on the go and in my office, when I work in my office would it be possible to screen mirror to my monitor so I can work using my monitor screen in the office and use the laptop while on the go? Like a multi use dead

i am looking for a cheap windows to run pepakura🤔, please help me find one👍🏻

[Fcers]

I need a computer that can run revit and cad smoothly. up to 20k sqft of linework, modeling. a computer that doesnt take long to open a file and plot a drawing to pdf

Never waste money on a laptop unless you really need one.

[mhsucio]

People a cheap gaming laptop can do all this for like $600-700 n if you spend $1000 you could get a 3060gpu with a intel i7 cpu

[txlec]

though i wonder how a geforce and quadro would run in an environment full of hundreds of assemblies in fusion or solid works. like parts in assemblies. how well would each card perform cuz i think thats where youll see the difference between the two?

[anantgupta]

What if i have integrated graphics only ? Does solidworks and simulation run ?

[billmcgrath]

Thanks, very direct, and insightful.... w/o all the BS....

Hello author, how do u think is it good or not to use 34” ultra wide curved monitor for CAD?

[ruggedtechie]

People thumbdown anything . Good job on the video

[johnvodopija]

Good overview of components and considerations. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺
