New computer - whats best?

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I am a Design & Tech student and I use AutoDesk Fusion & Illustrator. I saw some previous post about needing a computer that has i7, at least 16GB of memory and GTX 9XX series. Lots of people seem to work on MacBooks are thay better than other laptops or is it just personal preference.

An i7 with 16gigs of ram should be sufficient for just about anything you want to do. If you want to stick with team green on gpu's the look for a quadro series because there is some features that Adobe has locked to quadros, radeons, firepros ans some intel integrated graphics https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/system-requirements.html the link has the supported card list on it. Personally Im looking at the MSI WS63

I work with a Mac mini core i5 2.6GHz 8Go and the performances are quite enough, even working with quite complex models (like this one) :

 

The only issue is when doing complex operations like shell or fillet I may have to wait tens of seconds.
