laptop that run Pro/e and simple FEA- Centrino or Pentium4?
laptop that run Pro/e and simple FEA- Centrino or Pentium4?
(OP)
Hi All,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this
.
I wanted a recommendation on the laptops that can run fairly big CAD models and relatively simple FEA models.
We had zeroed down on a laptop with P4 3GHz/800FSB,512MB Ram laptop. And someone got to read an article about Centrino's speed/performance being comparable to that of P4 and improved thermal performance. That has put us in a dilema.
We 4 friends are planning to buy the laptops together. Any indicator in this regard as to which one gives us the needed performance (Should have very good CAD handling capabilities- the kind that doesn't take forever to reshade a model during a product demo or hang during a simple meshing operation!!).
Thanks again,
Jay

As you rightly said, graphic cards and compatibility play a big role apart from Number crunching capability.
We have decided to go ahead with Dell M60. (Centrino 1.7GHz,400FSB,128MB dedicated Graphics card..) and looks like it is certified for MCAD use by different companies/user groups.
Thanks,
Jay
