I need a Laptop until Tomorrow! Thunderbolt? Screen?
Hi, I need your help. I have a 670 i3930k/gtx … I use it for video editing, premiere, after, Resolve etc. But now I need a laptop for travel. The thing is that I’m going to California 3-6 months.
The first question is 15 “or 17”? Actually I do not know if 17 “is plenty to go around moving, do not remember how big they were, but I would say that much ..
Now edit much h.264 files, but is advancing both the audiovisual world next year any camera will shoot with the new codes H.265, RAW, 4K, etc.. And the thing is that last longer than a year.
UPDATE
After a time thinking and without knowing that to select, I return to ask to help to the forum. Up to yesterday i want this model buys:
Sager NP8265-S (Clevo P150SM)
-15.6″ FHD 16:9 “Matte Type” Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Anti-Glare Sager Screen w/ 95% NTSC Color Gamut (1920×1080)

-2+ Hours / 6.83 lbs
-No THUNDERBOLT$1800
I like this much, for the power that it offers, l grand quantity of storage that you can put. Another Model:
-17.3″ FHD 16:9 “Matte Type” Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Anti-Glare Screen w/ 72% NTSC Color Gamut (1920×1080)
-Intel i7-4700MQ
-NVIDIA® GTX 770M [2GB]
-16GB RAM
-Hard Drive(SLOT 1): 256GB Internal SSD (SATA III – 6/GBs)
-Hard Drive(SLOT 2):
– Optical Drive Bay: 6X Blu-Ray Reader + 8X DVDRW/CDRW Super Multi Combo Drive (Sager). Maybe i’ll change it for hdd or ssd whit Optical Bay.
-3+ Hours / 9.90 lbs
-YES THUNDERBOLT$1800
This is bigger and hevier, but it has Thunderlbolt. I have doubts, have seen portable with Quadro K3100m, K2100m. But the truth seems to me to be very little compared with the GForce. And Macbook Retina too expensive 2013. $ 2,000 without dedicated graphics, but high resolution screen and thinderbolt. If someone me can justify that it is worth maybe i can thinh about it.
Help Please i want to buy it today or tomorrow.

Lenovo W530

That lenovo have worst specs than the other two.

Not sure why you said this. The stock w530 is, for sure, inadequate. But, once you build a custom configuration,it beats those gaming laptops hands down.

I like these:
15″ & 17″ Asus series w/ Thunderbolt + RAID options, w/ NVIDIA GPU.

https://www.asus.com/ROG_ROG/G55VW/Dual NVIDIA GPUs, but USB3 only. I have the earlier y500 (3rd Gen i7) and runs Resolve great. If you disable SLI in software shows up as 2 GPUs!

The W530 is an Ivy Bridge Laptop and not the current Haswell series. Haswell mobile CPU’s have far better performance than Ivy. The 2 laptops’ the original poster link are Haswell. The Ivy in no way beats the Haswell models fully configured or not.

Clevo also has a Haswell shell with a discreet GPU opion with Thunderbolt. If you want that option look for a Clevo P370SM shell.

The Clevo is NIIIIICE! I spec’d a fully loaded one out at almost 6K! Time to start saving those Pennies… Have been happy with the Lenovo though, at a MUCH cheaper price. I had a hard time trying to decide which was better: Thunderbolt or dual GPUs when making my original purchase. (Asus vs Lenovo) The Clevo would solve that issue at a much higher price.

Starting @ 2100 bucks:

The haswells are only marginally faster than the Ivy bridge….
https://whatswithjeff.com/intel-haswell-vs-ivy-bridge-benchmark/The real difference between the 22nm die shrink and the new architecture is in power efficiency.
Bottom line: if you have deep pockets, go for the haswells. if you have a budget, go for the Ivy Bridge.What might tip the scales for the haswells are the inclusion of Thunderbolt.

Haswell is showing a 15% or more increase over Ivy Bridge Mobile and and Desktop in both audio and video testing here. Using a unknown benchmarking quantity/link does not change that. If you want to see real benchmarks for CPU that also state a 15% difference in improvement then this is the correct place:

Most are not related to media content creation but the H264 encoding yet the over all performance testing is inline with our media testing here.
