Hi All, first timer here. Researching Workstation setups. Apologies, your probably get this a lot. Going round in circles. Jumping back & forth between DELL Precision 7540, 5550, 5540 & the LENOVO ThinkPad P53.
For the sake of consistency, trying to keep within the following :
i9 988H - i7 9750H (this is the bit that has me going in circles)
NVIDIA Quadro T2000
16GB
M2 512GB PCIe
Would certainly appreciate any insight or guidance for those with experience with any of these. Wanted to ask if there was a clear choice if I asked which one was preferred. Lenovo appears to be significantly cheaper for similar setup. Also trying to ignore some of the 'lesser' known brand which offer great deals.
There are subtle difference in how the video is done between the 7XXX and 5XXX Dells. The 7XXX is more of a desktop replacement than a laptop so it is heavier and uses higher performance hardware. The battery also lasts longer. The 5XXX are focused on being light and thin. The difference can be as much as 50% in weight.
16Gb may not be enough ram. I had to upgrade my 5530 to 32gb for some bigger models. So get the 16GB DIMM not 2 X 8GB.
