HI everyone!
After some time I am updating my laptop, and I am doing some research for the best option. I use my laptop mainly to perform some live shows with Touchdesigner, for some 3D (mainly modeling and some rendering), Motion graphics, video editing and also for some Machine Learning experiments. I am looking for a laptop with a good graphics card and CPU. I travel constantly with it, but I am not really concerned about weight (actually my laptop is a 15 inch, and move it daily). I am thinking to spend between $2,000 and $3,000 USD.
I selected the following laptops and I would like to know if you could give me some recommendations of the performance of these with Touchdesigner. Or others you think are the best option:
