我是在D牌NB廠的ID, 長年在國外. 關於你剛進入工設要買nb, 公司給我Qxx cup效能的workstation, 我自己private用 Dell e6400 with P8600, nvs160m, 4g ram,os xp pro sp3. 以自己private nb經驗, 這樣的效能已經可以開超過兩百件的proe.assy組裝圖. render with high resolution over 1600x800也不至於太慢,but considered it is b/w slow and alrite.
如果預算可以建議你買workstation, 不便宜但痛一次. 目前市面許多nb規格已經能到達一般公司畫圖的需求 for id pov. To be honest, 我最近也考慮多購一台ACER Aspire timeline 4820TG-524G64Mn, 但還在研究當中. 我有買過macbook pro, unibody, from my points of view, it is just too much entertainment with less productivity for industrial design, unless you are graphic/packaging designer.
share with you my concerns when buying nb. 銀幕霧面as priority. (Gloss with ani-glare is best), 如果沒有也無所謂. NB hinge (轉軸) 是不是有堅固的設計. 這是我最在意的所以也需要實際上到市面去survey. cpu, for i7, at least i5 能有P8800的效能以上 顯卡, 我目前看一看是覺得ati 5650 1g真的還不錯for id. 當然如果你要go for 現在市面上的fx 那多數都是workstation等級. USB至少要四個(非常重要) os 你可以求效能用xp pro or win7 32bit pro. i prefer 14 inch nb. considered protable and light weight. 看你個人使用情況. 我喜歡背筆電到處去或上下班都背著那種, 所以才會選擇14" , or 15" good for view and work.
