Hello there,
I have to change my computer, a macbook pro retina 15' (2013) which start to slowly die...
And now, my needs are rising up, I need a powerfull computer that can work with graphics software like VectorWorks, support to have 2 or 3 out-screens etc...
Can You help me?
Thanks

You can buy 13/14th Gen and pair it with 6900XT. The other choice is server grade, full ECC and room for expansions, more lanes and what not.
 
the question is, where to buy a personnalise laptop with that stuff??
And is there possibility to have unify RAM like apple? or are they the only one to do that?
Moreover, I need to work with audio software (like Logic, ProTools, or if it exist, the best would be to have some DSP inside). Can the processor do the work itself? or do I need something else?
thanks
PS : just to say, I know some about computers, but not at all about hardware... so I'm pretty lost

Well, you didn't mention you need a Notebook ;)

What do you mean by Unify RAM?

You need an Audio Interface to do the work.
 
Sorry, I had a macbook pro so it was obvious for that I was looking for a laptop 😁
So Do U know plans to have some matching with hackintosh stuff?

Unify RAM is the new tech that apple use with there M1-2-3 chipset (same RAM for CPU and GPU)

thanks

The max you could go for is Ice Lake and the dGPU will never work unless you buy any model which has IGPU factory disabled and any supported dGPU is there, which is rare.

Oh, that thingy.
 
So what you're saying is that I can give up on hackintosh laptop? :cry:

Unless you're a genius who can write drivers for Tiger Lake and onwards. xD

Yeah, just get a M2 Max laptop man :-) That seems to fit your description best.
