Hi all-
I have what I consider to be a rather fun question. I have a friend whose father, S, needs a new laptop for what I understand to be CAD schematics viewing. S currently has a top of the line Dell m6000 that apparently is struggling to keep up with the demands that S places on it. Today, the Dell apparently stuttered through a board meeting presentation during which S was trying to display schematics of oil fields. S asked his son whether a better laptop existed, and his son asked me.
The requirements S has are fairly simple:
1) replacement needs to smoke through the most intensive 3d/cad visualizations like they are nothing
2) replacement needs to run windows
3) replacement needs to have 17 inch screen
4) battery life is relatively unimportant
The following are irrelevant as far as S is concerned:
1) weight
2) price
S is unfathomably wealthy. Money is literally no object. So no need to maximize value for money, or withhold solutions simply because they are expensive. S wants the best regardless of whether he really needs it, and whatever it costs, he can afford it.
Ideas?
I suggested talking to somebody at Puget Systems about a custom laptop, but I'm curious to hear what you all think. Thank you in advance, and I'll be happy to let you all know what S ends up doing.
