Windows laptop recommendation

Hello, I'm looking for recomendations for a windows laptop. The ones I've seen with dedicated graphics chips don't seem to have many cuda cores...

What's your budget, and what sort of footage are you looking to work with? Your minimum will be quite a a bit different for working with compressed HD than with raw 4K, for example...

4K Raw. So am looking for something high end but also compact enough to travel with. Probably 15". Good color fidelity.

The Resolve configuration guide lists a few models to consider: http://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/D ... _Guide.pdf

I had a Z Book a few generations ago. I liked having the ability to have an M.2 for OS and internal 2.5" and replace DVD with another drive. Not sure what current configurations are like.

Many recommend the Gigabyte Aero 15 for video. GTX 1070 video card with an i7-8750H. I would upgrade the 512GB model to 32 GB or go with the 1 TB.

Hi.

In Resolve the CPU is used to run the app, disk I/O and compression and decompression of codecs.
Resolve does all its image processing in the GPU on the graphics card. More CUDA/OpenCL Cores are better.

Suggest you look at one with the new 6 core Intel 8750H mobile CPU in a medium or large size laptop as they only cost little more than the previous 4 core versions.

For 4K Raw video editing will I recommend you to look at either one with a GTX 1070 or a GTX 1080 may be with a Max-Q design. The Max-Q design turn down the heat and noise, but will then give less GPU performance and therefore less Image processing performance.

If you click on the model number will you go to a full review with advantages and disadvantages of that laptop.

Please note that the Schenker/CLEVO is more noisy than the other. And this heavy noise is NOT include in the rating. So don't chose it, even if it is on the list.

For the best monitors, it seems like the big winners currently are Dell and HP, with Lenovo trailing just behind, and AlienWare is riding the Dell bandwagon.

My preference is for the HP line because of their combination of price, performance, features, and impeccable design. I'm really looking forward to the hexacore ZBook Studio models. I'm currently using a 2017 MacBook Pro and an HP Spectre x360, and for the most part the Spectre is faster. Some largely CPU bound applications are somewhat faster on the Mac because it has a 45 watt processor rather than a 15 watt processor, but Scratch can handle 8K raw with aplomb on my HP -- even without the eGPU.

So... I'm eyeing either an AlienWare 15 R5 i9 if it turns out that the new vapor chamber cooler is robust enough for the i9 (it's SUPPOSED to support overclocking...) and the upcoming ZBook Studio and ZBook Studio x360, both based on a hexacore Xeon.

Hp z book g4 or g5.... Awesome and usb c / thunderbolt 3 compatible

The HP zbooks have impressive CPUs but their GPUs don't have that many CUDA cores. Does the GPU clock speed and Ram negate the importance of the low core count?

Hi.

No, I will not say it that way. But what happen was, that Intel introduced some new 6 core mobile CPU's as the i7-8750H. They have around 40% higher performance than the previous 4 core versions and therefore generate more heat. But only very few laptop manufacturers increased the cooling. Many of the others stopped to offer the most powerfull GPU's, because they didn't have enough cooling to cool both a new strong 6 core CPU and a strong GPU.

I don't know if that was planed to be that way. But both nVidea and AMD plan to introduce new mobile GPU's on a 7nm node in 2019. And one of the advantage with a smaller 7nm node is that the new generation GPU's will use less power and therefore generate less heat.

So the manufacturers will now be able to take their old laptop design and use both a 6 core mobile CPU and a new 7nm GPU. The total cooling will be the same as before. So I expect many new 6 core laptops with a strong CPU in around a year from now.

I don't think you will find anything faster than this https://www.scan.co.uk/products/173-asus-rog-strix-gl702zc-gc104t-fhd-freesync-amd-ryzen-7-1700-16gb-ddr4-256gb-m2-ssdplus1tb-hdd-4g?gclid=Cj0KCQjw_vfcBRDJARIsAJafEnGmDQBtdnkGZFlGB3_5O5KFDdsGIPbO1T7xWR0fwxmk3h-5KQF5F3AaAjZaEALw_wcB for the money.
