Dear All,
I'm trying to self-configure a HP ZBook Studio X360, but am not sure which CPU to pick (see list below). (To each of these a Nvidia Quadro P1000 or P2000 can be –optionally– added.)
i5-8300H
i5-8400H
i7-8750H
i7-8850H
i9-8950HK
E-2176M
E-2186M
The device would be used for roughly 80% browsing, web development, YouTube and other media consumption (with many tabs open simultaneously) and about 20% drawing, photo and video editing (Photoshop and After Affects). Possibly also relevant: the device would come with a 15 inch 4k (3840x2160) screen. I very much prefer a cool silent laptop over one that is loud, but of course the device should still be able to handle above use case..
I was already told that I should probably skip the i9, Xeon and P2000 options (given my preference for a cool lap, but please do say if you disagree) and am considering the P1000 with the i7-8750 and then undervolt the i7.
Which configuration would be recommendable?
