Hi Domen, I have been using HP Probook 440 G5 (i7 and Nvidia MX150) for two years. Generally, I was not impressed by laptops with i7 processors - they simply can't dissipate heat generated by CPU and throttle frequency down to 0.8-1.5 GHz - the way MacBooks Pro with i9 processors did. The same issu

Hello Domen, If you are based in Europe, I recommend checking out Tuxedo laptops, which you can customize based on budget and preference - I've recently got a Ryzen 3950x with a RTX2070 to run heavy computational work and it does the job quite well. The downside is that their customer support is n

Hi all, just wanted to share with you that I purchased Dell Precision 5530 back then and it has been working like a dream for more than 2 years now.

Dear Domen, I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad p72 for both MX and cryoEM work last year and I am generally happy. The Xeon CPUs do get hot from time to time when governor is set to performance, but the thing is well ventilated and not too noisy. The Quadro GPU I have is, performance-wise, equivalent to
