I didnt want to put up a new thread on a frankly boring subject so I hope that by posting my msg here it will still be seen and hopefully answered by somebody…
Here we go – what do you think about this laptop here, considering the cpu+gpu combo and keeping in mind that I will be installing Ubuntu and using it for essentially Darktable, coding in Python+VSCode (that doesn’t require much but I am trying to learn Keras-Tensorflow and that requires a supported gpu) + family-videos editing with Davinci Resolve:
For those that don’t want to click on, it’s an Asus TUF FX505 gaming laptop with:
- 15,6" FHD IPS screen IPS, anti-glare, 200 nits, Refresh Rate 60Hz, Viewing Angle 170/170, Contrast 700:1, NTSC 45%, SRGB 62,5%, Adobe 47,34%
(not really that important to me, I’m mostly linked to a 27" Benq monitor for my photo editing) - AMD Ryzen 7 3750H
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti 6GB DDR6
- RAM 16GB, HDD 1TB SSD Sata + HDD 512GB SSD PCIE
Is the AMD really that good/powerful? A commenter on that amazon page says that the gpu underperforms when linked to this AMD cpu and that it would perform much better paired to an Intel cpu. I remember somebody here saying great things about these AMD cpus.
At the same price (~1100 EUR) there is also this one with an intel cpu and slightly less ssd storage (this is less important, I have spare SSDs that I intend to fit in this new laptop):
As a reference my current laptop is a Dell XPS 15 9560 i7-7700HQ@2.8Ghz Kabylake with a Geforce GTX1050 and 16 Gb ram. Will this Asus laptop be appreciably faster than my current one?
Thanks!
