but it will work with the intel hd Graphics 520? I want to go with a 13“, I think 15” is already too big. We have not much space in our lecture halls.

As I said I don´t need this for big stuff, I got a Workstation at home. Just doing some Stuff and Testing on the run.

Thanks for your comment Jeff.

That's what I already thought.
The surface is in a similar price range as the macbook so I'll go with the XPS

Hey Guys,

im about to buy me a Laptop for University. Since I am doing Houdini and other 3D Stuff beside my studying I need a Computer to take with me and do some Work. I don´t want to do huge Sims or Renderings on it. But it should be able to build and test Setups for Simulations.

Last Year on the FMX I saw some of the Live Presentations of Houdini done with a Mac Book, so I first looked at the Apple Store. The Mac Book Pro I considered is about 2200€. Then i found an Dell XPS with a pretty similar Setup “only” about 1600€.

Dell XPS 13 9350 Ultrabook 13,3" QHD Touch / Intel Core i7-6500U / 16GB DDR3L RAM / 512 GB SSD / Windows 10

or a Mac Book Pro /16 GB 1866 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM / 2,9 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 Prozessor (Turbo Boost up to 3,3 GHz) / 512 GB PCIe-based Flash-Memory

I would prefer the Dell ofc. But is there any Point in going with the Mac? What do you guy think?

Thanks
