Insane laptop

work · 01-05-2021 4:40pm #1

Hi I need a laptop for work and would appreciate any help. I am no computer guru and feel out of depth with this. On looking for a laptop the following specs seem hard to get. I would appreciate any advice on where I might get?

CPU: Intel Core i9-10980HK or AMD Ryzen 9 4900H/5900H
RAM: 32 GB
Graphic: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070/2080/3070/3080/3090 Above 8GB (Not supporting Radeon)
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

The following seems OK but not sure if windows pro. or if you can import from them without an import tax?

out-dated graphics card there

would be looking at a 3070 or 3080 for that budget

what is your max budget?

does it have to be 17 inch?

uses?

NO budget just get the best for the best price, would like to stay below 4K ideally. Doesn't have to be 17" but would be good. Its use is singularly for a photoscanning machine that creates virtual 3D objects allowing sunsequent CADCAM.

this is a very good spec

very powerful cpu

powerful gpu

good screen

add more ram if you need it yourself (clicks in - just need a screwdriver - e.g. replace existing sodimm sticks)

here's a comprehensive review

for sale here for 1700 £.

will be a little more at checkout when UK vat is swapped for irish VAT (will be labelled import fees but it's just VAT)

no worries with any other fees.

Amazon uk are Irish VAT registered for sale to here with no extra fees

or this with 32gb ram with the older 2070 but the 2070 super card version would do the job

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-A10SFS-287-Professional-i7-10875H-Win10PRO/dp/B08DHY3VF6/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=3070+laptop&qid=1619892646&refinements=p_36%3A130000-190000&rnid=2421885011&sr=8-8

comes in about 1800 euros - ships to Ireland

has 32gb ram and big ssd in it already

just have to use a plug end converter or swap the lead from the power brick to the mains - commonly available

voltage is not an issue

seems that strix is not available to order for Ireland

the Razer blade RTX 3070 is another solid choice

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Blade-Base-Model-i7-10750H/dp/B08T9Y5D4X/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=3070+laptop&qid=1619954523&sr=8-8

just add extra ram yourself if required - buy on amazon

if you need win 10 pro just buy a key yourself on ebay and install / upgrade - it will not be supplied with most gaming laptops
