Desktop or Laptop for Architecture ?!

 

"Should I get a desktop or laptop for architecture?".  This, along with,  "what computer hardware should I get for Revit?", are the two most common hardware based questions I get... In this video I recorded an open box review of my new desktop computer, benchmark it, an compare it to it's laptop equivalent...

We talked about what to look for when specifying a new Revit computer including processors, graphics cards, RAM, storage, cooling, and more...

The conversation was great and the questions from the live audience were probing.  If you have ever had to spec a desktop or laptop and were wondering "does this speed matter?  How many cores should I get?  How much RAM?".. Then you HAVE to give this episode a watch...
