Hello,
I recently finished a 3D course and I decided to specialize in character animation.
I'm currently working on my showreel with a very old pc and, seen that I'll probably leave home very soon, I was planning to buy a laptop.
I know that a mobile workstation would be the best choice for me, but I'd also like to know if there's such a big difference with a gaming laptop, considering that I'm a beginner animator and I probably won't work with too detailed 3d models or scenes.
For example, what do you think about MSI GE72 Apache pro-242? Would it be a worthy choice?
Do you have any suggestion? Thanks.
