Dell notebook XPS for archicad 15

Anonymous — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:40:28 GMT

Hi, I am quoting a new notebook with a mid price, with an aditional monitor, for working with archicad 15.

The specs are:

DELL XPS 15"
Windows 64 bit
Intel cuore i7, 2670 QM (2,20 GHz)
Ram 8GB
Screen 15,6" HD LED 1366x768.
Nvidia GeForce GT 540 2GB Optimus.

The exterior Monitor is Dell 18,5" IN 1930 (1366x768).

How do you think Archicad 15 will run ?????
Thanks

I would get a HD monitor, 1080 vertical res, as 768 vertical resolution is the minimum.

Otherwise it sounds OK?

768 res vertically is not minimum IMHO - but rather impossible to use, minimum is around 800 and only if the start menu on Pc and dock on Mac is set to autohide.
900 is comfortable minimum IMHO.

But if You get laptop with Optimus - go to bios and disable it - as AC 15 does not like it for now...

Best Regards,
Piotr

Thanks, it helped.
Seems the specs of the monitor are too minimum, and its worring that the video card has to be disabled.

I have discarded DELL XPS.
I am trying to find a comercial product available in Chile.
I am looking now to a SAMSUNG RF712 - S03, seems to be better at a good price.

Windows 7, Home premium 64 bits
Intel i7, 2670QM (2,20 Ghz)
8 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6650M 2GB
Full HD 17,3", 1920 x 1080.

I will appreciate your opinion on this new option.
Thanks
