What is the best sub $3000usd 17" laptop for Rhino 6 right now? Mostly for Rhino, but also a bit of Photoshop and some rendering (keyshot and/or vray) and possibly some unreal engine 3d environment modeling. Ive been running an Asus G751J and after swapping for an ssd drive and adding 32gb ram, it’s done me well for 3 years but now the usb ports arent working (maybe I’ll fix it?). In case I dont and need a new beast of a laptop, please suggest recommendations and/or specs.
What do you think of the Alienware 17 r5?
