smashthewindow Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hey guys, Recently I'm thinking of buying a new laptop since I travel a lot. I'm thinking of buying a 15-inch Macbook Pro and using bootcamp on it, but I don't know much about computer hardware. What kind of system configuration would allow Leadwerks to run smoothly? I've an Alienware M15X which I can do all the system intense graphics stuff - I'm only planning to write code & test on the new machine. Thanks for reading.

shadmar Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I use Asus G series laptops, I find them better specced and cheaper than Dell Alienware. Quote HP Omen - 16GB - i7 - Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 ASUS has some good ones. Of course the Mac can do iOS stuff, and Android development is a bit easier on them.

DigitalHax Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Android development is a bit easier on them. Oh the irony.

Canardia Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 It's even easier on Linux, because it has GNU C++ built-in.

Xaron Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'd go with the Macbook Pro. I have a Macbook Air with Win7 via Bootcamp and it's just great - even performance wise. Ok, only HD3000 graphics but that should be more than enough with LE3. Quote Triassic Games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
