just cnc hobbyist of professional

2019-05-28 14:00:13 UTC  

at least here is machine shop what lets you run CNC stuff as hobbyist too (for the cost)

2019-05-28 14:00:51 UTC  

I'm gonna assume you meant to say "or" and not "of"

2019-05-28 14:01:06 UTC  

yeah or*

2019-05-28 14:01:17 UTC  

Hobbyist and pro are very, *very* different contexts for CNC

2019-05-28 14:01:21 UTC  

i know

2019-05-28 14:01:26 UTC  

If you're going to have to do that for "10+ hours," you've fucked up. Hard. But sure, it's a reasonable scenario for a quick fix.

2019-05-28 14:01:34 UTC  

but both have similar needs for right there and now changes without extra jumps

2019-05-28 14:01:42 UTC  

As a hobbyist you could go with a single desktop because you only have one/a bunch of machine to control, not a huge fucking factory

2019-05-28 14:01:44 UTC  

thats why beefy business laptops are

2019-05-28 14:02:01 UTC  

^ business? 😉

2019-05-28 14:02:08 UTC  

business laptops as line

2019-05-28 14:02:09 UTC  

And maybe a laptop to do adjustment if, let's say, your setup is far from your computer

2019-05-28 14:02:18 UTC  

If it's pro, then it's a whole different story

2019-05-28 14:02:20 UTC  

not as business use you idiot @kontroll

2019-05-28 14:02:21 UTC  

:D

2019-05-28 14:02:30 UTC  

😉 😉 😉

2019-05-28 14:02:40 UTC  

In that case, yeah, using a high end laptop is gonna be acceptable *but* usually those are expensive as fuck

2019-05-28 14:02:46 UTC  

also as hobbyist your desktop would be at home not at that random rented carage/hall where you need it

2019-05-28 14:02:57 UTC  

Yes. Unreasonably expensive as far as I'm concerned.

2019-05-28 14:03:12 UTC  

Yeah, that's why I said a main desktop and a remote cheap laptop for additionnal stuff

2019-05-28 14:03:15 UTC  

^

2019-05-28 14:03:16 UTC  

used business laptops cost sub 1000 easily

2019-05-28 14:03:22 UTC  

Sure it might not be the greatest experience ever

2019-05-28 14:03:31 UTC  

But compared to a laptop that's gonna cost you more than twice that setup

2019-05-28 14:03:32 UTC  

Well...

2019-05-28 14:03:45 UTC  

I disagree on that point

2019-05-28 14:03:55 UTC  

But, in all fairness, people are willing to compromise in areas I'm unwilling to, and vice versa.

2019-05-28 14:03:57 UTC  

Thinkpad hrs

2019-05-28 14:04:06 UTC  

Business laptop with a discreet and pro GPU is gonna rip your ass IF you compare it fairly with a comparable desktop setup

2019-05-28 14:04:12 UTC  

Even used

2019-05-28 14:04:36 UTC  

I'm entirely willing to compromise and use a relatively old laptop for mobility purposes, and have a lovely ol' desktop doing all the heavy lifting when needed.

2019-05-28 14:05:07 UTC  

Meanwhile, mostly women are willing to forego the desktop entirely and rely on an overpriced fruit themed laptop. For convenience...?

2019-05-28 14:05:37 UTC  

laptops are built for mobility

2019-05-28 14:05:40 UTC  

quick check on local store ``Dell Precision 3510 i7-6820HQ 16GB 512SSD FirePro `` for 999

2019-05-28 14:05:41 UTC  

not for performance

2019-05-28 14:05:45 UTC  

rule of thumb

2019-05-28 14:05:47 UTC  

Look, right now I got a P50, let's not compare the full retail price that nobody would be willing to pay, but it's still gonna be around 1k+€

2019-05-28 14:06:06 UTC  

It got a Quadro M1000M

2019-05-28 14:06:12 UTC  

Try gayming on that

2019-05-28 14:06:16 UTC  

given said firepro is ``` W5130M 2GB ```
but still way more beefy
