Regarding your bootcamp question: No, you won't lose any performance. Bootcamp is just apples marketing term for a dual boot system. You're only running 1 OS at a time. So when you run Windows, OSX is not running. When windows is running it is 100% like running windows on any other PC. There are however virtual machines…
as far as laptops go there don't seem to be many models out there as well put together as the macbook pro. be advised however that the current models are not user serviceable/upgradeable at all, so the old way of saving some money by buying the one you want with the lowest RAM/storage spec and then doing aftermarket…
Hey all. I'm looking at getting myself a new laptop. I'm wondering what peoples experiences are using a MacBook for creating 3D. Mainly 3Ds Max i know it cant run on OSX so you have to use a dual boot. <<<< I use quite a bit of VRay so render things off, will this be effected by running in boot camp? I also understand that…
You're going to get more power for your money if you don't get a Mac, but it might not be the sturdiest build quality then. It all depends. Unless you dualboot to windows (and then it makes less sense to get a Mac) a few things won't work like 3DS Max, Quixel and xNormal (other things you name do run on Mac, so the…
If you need more than four cores you should either get a desktop or build a render farm that you can access remotely. The fastest mobile CPU money can buy, Intel Core i7-4940MX, has 4 cores and 8 threads running at 3.1 GHz. You can get laptops with desktop processors in them, but they're enormous, ugly, very hot,…
My work used macs. It wasn't horrible but it was a pointless way to work. Not being able to use cool little tools that were released was just annoying. The dual booting works but is really inefficient. Xnormal for sure wont run and quixel I dont think works either. I was surprised at the amount of stuff that did have Mac…
You won't be running a 780Ti in a laptop without putting together an external GPU, which is not very portable, but it can be a good boost to your GPU power at home if you don't mind setting it up and patching your laptop BIOS. Macbooks are actually some of the best laptops you can get for such a setup, as they have the…
