@dostovel Lol, I have been saving for a computer this year. I prepped a little in advance of asking my question so don’t think I purchased this solely on your opinion (but it did sway me). I guess I am mostly looking for what has worked for people and what they are happy with.
It was a big purchase but I got a protection plan and I have a 90 day warrantee besides that to return without questions if I am unhappy with the purchase. Most complaining I have heard about this laptop is that it gets quite hot when going full tilt. I don’t mind that because it will be on wood surfaces for most of it’s life. I was more excited that it had a numbpad! (I know, its the little things haha).
I bought it today because there was a sale ($100 off which I just used for the protection plan) and the price seemed fair (sale ends tomorrow but I won’t be in the area again).
Thanks for the thought and reply. And you are not responsible, if anything I am saying I trust a guy’s opinion who has used blender and has had both Mac and Windows experience. I am plenty familiar with Win 10 so that it not going to be a problem for me to transition to it. I already have used 2.8 on it before. All of the render stuff seemed more stable compared to my Mac. I’ll post an update late hopefully to state whether I felt it was a good decision. No regrets today though.
