the ergonomics for a 15-17 laptop are about the same as working on a desktop. they have full sized keyboards and you can adjust the angle. add a wacom or mouse and your all set. never heard anyone having a problem with that. working on a 14 or smaller you will have some issues as they try to cram a full keyboard into a…
you might take a look at some of the 17 MSI laptops. there not as good as the Sager but there better then Asus. i really would not recommend an Asus for anything other the a cheap 12-14 for surfing the web etc.
I'm using a 17" laptop right now and I don't think it's too big or heavy to be portable. That said I had no idea how problematic and expensive things like heat and part replacement/maintenancecan be with a laptop.
I'm looking into getting a laptop for 3d work. I've never worked on a laptop, and I've always used a desktop with a large monitor. So I'm unsure whether I should be looking at a 17" or 15". The more portable the better, but I'm not sure if 15" will be a struggle to work on. What are your experiences?
WHHAAAAAAA??? This is a complete waste. If you're lugging 17" around, have some decent specs so you can actually get something impressive up on the screen. At the VERY LEAST have dedicated graphics and some decent ram to push it all.
i'm going to assume that the OP or anyone else interested already has made the decision that they want/need a portable workstation class laptop. and they are going to use it to do the same work you would do on a normal workstation. so no arguing about 12-...-vs-...-17 etc. one point tho, since about the geforce9 gtx mobile…
Very true, but thats not my point, like I just said I'm not trying to suggest 'the bigger the better'. I'm just saying that in my experience, I could get alot more done and work for longer sittings on larger screens than on my 15.4" laptop. Even when I borrowed my friends 17" I noticed a massive difference.
