- mywittyname 5y agoSpaceMouse works just fine on laptops, it's just kind of pointless when your software is pushing 15fps because of the shitty graphics card. You can't get Quattro cards on laptops, as far as I know. So anyone using CAD software regularly is stuck using desktops.
- robotnikman 5y agoI think Lenovo offers Quattro cards on laptops, but IIRC they much more expensive than a desktop workstation
- vel0city 5y agoYou can get the latest A5000 GPU's on the pro-grade workstation laptops. You could Quadro cards on laptops for a long time. They're just the super thick stupid expensive models usually.
- nextaccountic 5y agoYou can use an external GPU on a laptop though.
- tstrimple 5y agoLots of asterisks belong here. There are still a ton of compatibility issues, but when it works it can be a great option.
