Article with lots of links and descriptions to choose in 2019 the best laptop for 3d: andvfx.com/best-laptop-for-3d
Im getting a lot of people asking me for what to check when you are looking for a laptop to work in 3d.
During my more than 15 years working in 3d in different sectors (movies, mappings, archviz, architect,...) I had over 7 different laptops, and it takes some time to choose between all the possibilities and brands we have.
So I add together what Im looking when I consider to buy a new laptop,: Keyboard, screen, cpu, gpu, ram, ports (I forget its important to have an hdmi!), build quality, etc...) I hope you can found this interesting!
Thanks to my girldfriend Anais for helping me filming some videos for this presentation!
My actual laptop is an MSI, 15.6 inches, GP62-6QF, i7 6700HQ, GTX 960M, 128Gb SSD, 1Tb hard drive, I updated to 32Gb of ram. I bought this second hand (You can see on the video the Chinese characters on the keyboard) for a good price, and so far has been great, rendering, siming (even for long periods of time).
Let me know in the comments what do you prefer, Dell, Asus, msi, apple, lenovo, razer, or any other brand, and what model are you using. Thanks!

On a budget:
Asus gl553 amzn.to/2EvJCSh
Dell inspiron: amzn.to/2Uiobe7
MSI gp63: amzn.to/2VASKMm (This one is a more modern laptop than the one I use)
15" gaming laptops:
msi stealth 15" 1060: amzn.to/2BYlKpF
msi stealth 15" 1070: amzn.to/2SKotJe (very thin laptop)

MSI gs65 15" 1060 : amzn.to/2EsGNRS

Good quality and nice finishes laptops (if you need something looking more professional):
Dell xps 15: amzn.to/2EJL44N
Aero 15 amzn.to/2Et2VeL RTX 2070 version available
razer 15 inch: amzn.to/2UjvUsm
Ultralight computers 13" (not my personal recomendation for 3d, but sometimes you need something light to travel, remember all this has the "U" intel cpu, meaning they are less powerful:
dell xps 13 inch: amzn.to/2VsRrii
razer 13 inch: amzn.to/2XBFtol
huawei matebook x pro 13 inch: amzn.to/2EK0jdK
