Really normie knowledge. Higher number isn't always better especially in laptops. And currently in CPUs AMD kicks Intel's ass, has been for about 5 years now, especially in laptops as AMD chips use less power to give the same or more performance hence give more battery life as well. Why do you think Intel is having such a bad time while AMD is acquiring other companies? The story is even better for AMD in the data centre space. Edit: oh and GPUs. In GPUs both AMD and Nvidia are good but for designing apps and whatnot Nvidia is better optimised but Nvidia doesn't like to give VRAM which is needed for many productivity apps so it's actually better for productivity to get an older Nvidia GPU with more VRAM for the price of lower end current one's which have less memory. For example last gen 3070 laptop has 8gb memory you can get those for current gen 4050 prices which only have 6gb memory.
@@yellowflash511 Thanks for the detailed reponse, this quick guide is for students who have never looked into purchasing a laptop for architecture uses, you'd be surprised how none of this is common knowledge, even screen size isn't clear to most students entering architecture! Trying to keep this info simple and digestible, cpu for our architecture apps isn't as critical because most don't even use multithreading and rely on a higher clock speed where typically intel is higher, then for gpus on our rendering apps we're seeing better raytracting performance and compatibility with nvidia and for the sake of this quick guide, wanted to point out the naming conventions so people have some idea of what to look for. Many students will unfortunately get something with no dedicated gpu or a laptop with a 1650 that falls below minimum specs Overall I don't disagree with you, but I can only include so much information, just want to relay key info to students, if they want to go down the hardware rabbithole, we have LTT for that lol. Have a good one!

I found a refurbished asus proart 3070 64 gb ram 2tb ssd. I’m not sure if I should cop that or get something a little more updated. Please help.
@@Egyptsdad How much? Spec wise thats amazing!
@@andychristoforou $1200 comes with a warranty as well.
@@Egyptsdad Dude, get that!! that's a steal!
And amd ryzen 9 5000 series processor. I guess my main concern was the graphics card performance with it being 3070 vs the 4060/70
@@andychristoforou okay, for sure. thanks for the response.
