ASUS TUF FX505 15.6 Inch Full HD 120 Hz Gaming Laptop (Black) (AMD Ryzen R5-3550H, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB, 256 GB PCI-e SSD, 8 GB RAM, Windows 10) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S2ZLNS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0nc3DbTRY7VGP [www.amazon.co.uk]


I saw this on black Friday sales.. it's nowt special but just wondered if it'll let me tinker with Houdini and vex perhaps? As I said not bothered on heavy duty sim work.. I can cook that overnight in my office logging in remotely (it's 5 mins walk away lol but the front room is cosier haha).

Ant thoughts?

Hi,
I end up buying a Razer blade 15”. I will say that with your budget it’s really hard finding a laptop computer to work with Houdini simulation, but if you need one for only vex setup, maybe have a look at MSI computers. I saw that was the cheapest brand in relation to the specifics.
Cheers

Yeah I just want it for learning vex and some of the other more code based sop stuff vs out n out sim work.. I can always send that to my pc remote in and make it simulate there I'll take a look at msi thanks

Hey chaps thought I'd ask on here seeing as it's a recent thread? I'm in UK I run my own office with two decent i9 systems with 1080s in them. Houdini runs at a fair pace on those overall I've found. Enough for what i need.

I want to get a laptop but don't have a massive budget.. I'm considering an Asus for Houdini use.

My plan is to use it to learn more vex and setup some smaller setups vs the heavy duty cache manipulation I do on my office computers.

I have a budget of around 5 to 600 I know that's much but is there anything worth getting at all?
