Laptop in the low-middle price segment for undemanding work in Blender

Hello everyone,

I have quite big changes coming up in my life and am looking for suggestions for a cheap laptop to use Blender on.

I have a fairly powerful PC that I can render on, 3090TI, 64GB of memory - but I won’t be able to spend much time at home.

I want to be able to create models up to 150,000 polygons when I’m on the road, very simple, no rendering, no textures or anything like that - just modeling in solid mode. I will do everything that requires performance on my stationary PC in the evening.

The price for the laptop should be reasonable, as I can’t foresee how long it will stay that way.

I actually detest laptops, but I have no other choice if I want to use all the idle time I will have during the day for my hobby.

I’ve hardly been involved with technology for the last few years, maybe one of you has a laptop like this at home and can give me tips on which performance is sufficient for what.

Many thanks for reading and your tips!

Moin,
I recommend hp Elitebook 1030 x360 g2 or g3. And buy an additional pen for 3d-texturing. I own one of them (2nd hand from Ebay profi seller) for over a year and can say they are very modern, well equipped and just fun to use. Check out the specs (HP site) and video reviews on Youtube.

If you Remote Desktop into your PC, you can get away with pretty much any laptop. I have an old garbage laptop that I use as a mobile monitor for my computer this way, works very well

If it’s a laptop for modeling, most models will be possible.
Modelling is still possible even with an old laptop.
And I don’t know how much I’m going to spend on my laptop… :thinking:

I think you should choose a model and ask for your opinion. :slightly_smiling_face:
