I am planning to buy a laptop. My budget is 1816 USD. It will be hard for me to go beyond that. I want to do VFX and motion graphics work in Houdini and Cinema4D. I cannot afford a PC right now as my lifestyle involves staying out of home and lot of commuting.

Currently I have shortlisted following laptops.


MSI Katana 15, Intel 12th Gen. i7-12650H, 40CM FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop (16GB/1TB NVMe SSD/ Windows 11 Home/Nvidia GeForce RTX4060, 8GB GDDR6/Black/2.25Kg), B12VFK-299IN
INTEL PROCESSOR BENCHMARK SCORE- 24442
Nvidia GeForce RTX4060 has a benchmark score of 20275




ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition Ryzen 9 Octa Core AMD R9-5900HX - (16 GB/1 TB SSD/Windows 10 Home/12 GB Graphics/AMD Radeon RX 6800M) G513QY-HQ008TS Gaming Laptop  (15.6 inch, Original Black, 2.50 kg, With MS Office)

Please give suggestions. 



I am a beginner in motion design. I am still in learning stage. The idea is to earn good amount of money with doing basic motion design works, build up a solid portfolio, then buy a PC later that I can use solely for rendering when I come home. 



Sharing some artists profiles. I aspire to do the kind of commercial work that they are doing.
