Hi Folks, I’m a newbie to this but would like to do it. Pam, Eric, John, Brian and others have already given me some great advice on the software and hardware I need. My laptop is old and would take too much to upgrade so now am on the point of buying a new one, high-spec enough to do all the video and audio. But the choices from my local computer store are many and it’s all a bit confusing. So my question to you all is, which of these would you get if you could? $3,000 is probably way beyond the budget - possibly even $2,000 is, but I’ll get what I need, what you all think I need to get the job done:
Processor, GHz/Graphics card, Gb/RAM, Mb/Price $
AMD Ryzen 5-3580U, 2.10/AMD Radeon Vega 9, NK/16/1600
AMD Ryzen 7-5800H, 3.20/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 4Gb/16/1360
Intel Core i7-10870H, 2.20/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, NK/32/2450
Intel Core i7-11800H, 2.30/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 6Gb/16/2320
Intel Core i7-11800H, 2.30/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, 4Gb/16/1520
Intel Core i5-10200H, 2.40/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 1650, 4Gb/8/990
Intel Core i7-11800H, 2.30/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 8Gb/32/3300
AMD Ryzen 7-5800H, 3.00/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 6Gb/16/1840
AMD Ryzen 7-4800HS, 2.90/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, NK/16/1520
I’m assuming 2Gb minimum on the graphics cards where the Gb is not mentioned, but I could find out.
The guy in the store said the memory slots on these models are full up, so if 16GB can’t be upgraded to 32, but not sure if that’s true, I just don’t know enough about these models.
All advice much welcomed!
Thanks (I also post this on the other thread for covers/video creation)
