IS my laptop efficient for game development ?
This is my first question here . i have a toshiba laptop L650 with I5 CPU M450 @2.40GHZ (4 CPUs) 2 GB ram 500GB HDD Windows 7 familiale premium 32 bits intel HD with 763 MB pixel shader 4.1 directx 11 (so far it has done it's job) BUT no GPU !!! I had no problems with my laptop but i only used it with blender, sketchup and unity but now I'm starting to use 3ds max or maya and some real high end graphiqs softwares so well MY machine do the job or no I m going to buy a new PC in few months so what do you advice me to buy (part's)
thank's for any help I get.
Everybody's needs as far as computer strength goes is going to be different, so all I can do is give personal experience. The machine I'm primarily working with is a couple year old mac mini, 2.53 Ghz dual core, 4 gig ram and whatever built in gpu that came with it. In short, a not very powerful machine. With that said, I've never had any problems with its ability and I too use blender (now 3ds), photoshop, unity, and its even used for professional audio editing. The only thing thats slower on it than my pc is rendering, but thats not a big deal. So by glancing at your specs, I would say you would probably be ok for small developments. Now if your doing professional quality animations and games, then I would say beef up your hardware. Sorry I can't give a definitive answer, as needs are different from person to person.
