just cnc hobbyist of professional
at least here is machine shop what lets you run CNC stuff as hobbyist too (for the cost)
I'm gonna assume you meant to say "or" and not "of"
yeah or*
Hobbyist and pro are very, *very* different contexts for CNC
i know
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.
but both have similar needs for right there and now changes without extra jumps
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
thats why beefy business laptops are
^ business? 😉
business laptops as line
And maybe a laptop to do adjustment if, let's say, your setup is far from your computer
If it's pro, then it's a whole different story
:D
😉 😉 😉
In that case, yeah, using a high end laptop is gonna be acceptable *but* usually those are expensive as fuck
also as hobbyist your desktop would be at home not at that random rented carage/hall where you need it
Yes. Unreasonably expensive as far as I'm concerned.
^
used business laptops cost sub 1000 easily
Sure it might not be the greatest experience ever
But compared to a laptop that's gonna cost you more than twice that setup
Well...
I disagree on that point
But, in all fairness, people are willing to compromise in areas I'm unwilling to, and vice versa.
Thinkpad hrs
Business laptop with a discreet and pro GPU is gonna rip your ass IF you compare it fairly with a comparable desktop setup
Even used
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.
Meanwhile, mostly women are willing to forego the desktop entirely and rely on an overpriced fruit themed laptop. For convenience...?
laptops are built for mobility
quick check on local store ``Dell Precision 3510 i7-6820HQ 16GB 512SSD FirePro `` for 999
not for performance
rule of thumb
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+€
It got a Quadro M1000M
Try gayming on that
given said firepro is ``` W5130M 2GB ```
but still way more beefy
