Hi I am a visual effects student and looking for best laptop that could cope with multiple VFX/design software including - Autodesk, Pixologic, Adobe software etc.
What laptop could you best recommended?

Thankyou!

Any gaming system with an IPS screen or a workstation laptop HP ZBook, Dell Precision, Lenovo P models. I like the Lenovo models myself. Look for a system with a real quad core CPU, will have an HQ at the end for i5 and i7 CPUs or the Xeon models.

Thanks so much for replying!
I'm on a bit of a budget and the HPZbook Mobile Workstations are looking like the best options at the moment, Would the Zbook studio or Zbook 15/17 models handle rendering/texturing etc.? - Also in regards to IPS, what does that mean?
 


If you will be working with images, you need to learn about the different monitor types since they affect what you see and how it compares to the final product/render. There are plenty of articles comparing screen types and what an IPS screen is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPS_panel

Any of the ZBooks will be good, of course the faster the CPU the faster it will work through rendering.
