128GB ram in a laptop is nuts
most CAD users disagree
Lol I had to install 64 GB of memory for one user just so he could run 3 programs from the Autodesk suite. It's insane what that software requires.
gets worse if you do actual engineering and have stuff like COMSOL on top
@Rotonen Is your experience in hardware?
Just curious, because you're quite knowledgeable about the hardware side of things.
Mine is more software/network related so I've had to do ton of research into SSD tech for this build
yes and no, done some cleanroom electronics fab work in a lab way back when, so sorta
