Hi I am a graphic designer, in the last years I am working more and more on packaging design but I have been always working on 2D simple vector designs, now I need to learn a software to create 3D renders of packaging design but also I need to by a laptop good enough to do those 3D design.
Here is the question: what should I buy?
I have been designing on Mac since 10 years ago but I am not sure about the specs on the new MacBook Pro for 3D design, so I was looking into Alienware.
Do you think that the new MacBook Pro is good enough? Is the Alienware 15 (with i7, 16/32 Ram, GTX 1060 or 1070) too powerful for what I need?
Money is not an issue, but I don't want to regret after the investment of a MacBook Pro not good enough but with a familiar interface and good aesthetics nor feel regret for buying an overpowered Alienware that I find ugly and weigh almost 8 pounds.
Advance 3D software need modern version OpenGL,using CUDA(only nVidia cards have it) Pixar,video games industry run in workstation windows or Linux with nvidia cards.
Basic 3D software runs fine in Mac OS.

Thanks, I just read something about it and also that Apple already solve that, but... will I need Nvidia to do the 3D designs I need? I know nothing about it, but I'll learn... but the laptop will be the tool to do it, I was thinking about Cinema 4D (which license is also a load of money) but I am not clear yet... I am not planing to do any Videogames nor movies or long animations like cartoons and stuff.

What about 3ds max?

I have been using Macbooks for 1 year and have never experienced this. Maybe you are just a dumb ass.

Yeah, you're probably just a retard.

Why are Apple engineers so shit? I mean they've had overheating problems for decades but how the fuck are they still sucking this bad?

I would not buy the new Macbook if you want to use an external screen... We bought three of the escape 13" version and all three are bugging out in some way, Screens turning off, Desktop glitching out and the fact that its quite expensive buying the adaptors to get two external monitors working (one of the three clients has dual externa monitors)

>I have been designing on Mac since 10 years ago So choose Mac. You're already used to the OS. >but I am not sure about the specs on the new MacBook Pro for 3D design It'll be fine. Pure specs aren't everything, you know. It's about optimization. But if you are so worried about pure numbers, why not just build your own desktop?
Gavin Flores
Must be a laptop.

lmao

Then you're likely going to want the MacBook Pro. It will be fine. If you'd like to buy the Alienware laptop, that will also be fine. Honestly, both options are good, but sense you've been using macOS for 10 years, just get the MacBook.
Josiah Gutierrez
Thanks bro
Jordan Murphy
Thanks self!

1. Take whatever budget you had for the Macbook, cut it in half and buy the Alienware. Get the same performance.
2. Spend the same amount you were going to spend on the Macbook on the Alienware. Get 250% performance over the Macbook.
Parker Price
No problem.
Jacob Cooper
What a retarded comparison. Don't buy the Alienware unless you plan to rarely take it out of the house, at that point might as well buy a desktop. Mac makes more sense as a laptop, but macs pretty shit. I'd split the price of the Mac, get a decent pc and a decent laptop or just stick with Mac cause your bf will probably get mad for buying windows.
Daniel Allen
there are some Ryzen laptops coming out, you might want to wait and see what they have to offer.
