Laptops for Solidworks 2008

[rschnarr]

I am looking at laptops for a business running Solidworks 2008. What recommendations do you guys have?


I would like to be able to run cosmos as well, windows XP is preferred for sure.

I asked the same question 2 years ago. Solidworks said the Dell Precision M90 is what there field techs use and that

I currently use a Dell M90, but it is no longer available. Refer to this discussion ( [url]http://www.mcadcentral.com/proe/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38 455&KW=m6400[/url]) on the Pro-E forum.

If you want a Dell, the current replacement is a Dell M6400. Whatever you decide to purchase, verify the video card drivers (specific to laptop) are supported by SolidWorks under system / graphic card requirements: http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/videocardtesting.html

It depends on what you are doing. If simulation is your thing. Your'e gonna need a fast PC. My piece a crap HP with 2Gz AMD, and 512MB work fine, only gripes come with large assemblies and looooong simulations. So it depends.

I'm running a Dell Precision M6400 on Windows XP. Core 2 Duo on 3.5 GB memory, runs fine for most things. It might chug a little on Cosmos though.
