Do 2 in 1 laptops have a negative impact on working as a programmer?

Hey!

  1. Question: I'm starting my computer science degree next week and wanted to ask if anyone has experience with 2-in-1 laptops as a programmer or game developer. I'm interested in the HP Spectre 360X with 32GB and an RTX 4050. (They're currently having a great sale.)
  2. Question: I also do some rendering and video editing on the side and wanted to know if the 4050 laptop version is sufficient for that. (I'm only familiar with PC GPUs.)

Thank you very much for your answer!

Ne aua I’m in pain 🙂 a laptop is very nice for a few scripts, but there it stops. They usually do not have too high a life expectancy because they overheat and so on when used intensively. And why do you want to carry? I’m sure you don’t need a lecture. Buy a notebook for notes and for the rest a PC. In purely technical terms, he will be able to do this, but fun won’t make it at the price performance ratio. Of course, if you have too much money, it doesn’t matter if you buy, you’ll have a smart PC for development later.

Would you mind if you don’t want to put a powerful PC at home with GPU and get a business laptop in your studies, with a smaller display, large battery, reasonable CPU with iGPU, TB port to connect to large displays.

Compare size and weight of such a gaming block with one as described above. I wouldn’t want to be on my way. In addition, manyoutcompare the performance of a GPU with mobile variants.

So the laptop weighs 2kg, I actually find it quite good and home you can easily connect it to one or more screens.

So for programming, you definitely need a strong CPU and this is also important for rendering. This is more important than the GPU. But I would definitely stay with the 32 GB in the RAM.

Yeah absolutely, so you’re not doing anything wrong with that.

Depends on what to render. As soon as it is only batchwise more complicated wrid is rendered via GPU. 3000 cores at 2.5 ghz create more away than 16 cores at 4.0.

With the combination of Intel I7 Ultra 155H and the RTX 4050, everything works even when it gets complicated and for programming, the CPU is significantly more important, except for 3D animations but then the 4050 is sufficient.

What do you understand under “Programming”?

When studying computer science, NOT need to be rendered. You need that with Rendern if you become a MEDIENGESTALTER.

such a program code in Pyhton and other languages there is a normal text editor.

  1. had to look how it looks like with the battery, the dinger with Graka keep net forever long
  2. Well, if I get my videos Render, I’m going to the CPU more than the Graka, Rtx 2060 and i5 10600k and that’s enough

Yes, the CPU bangs heavily in, I think this will be enough for your purposes.

when studying computer science there is a normal laptop, and so a program code can even be written with paper and pencil.

If your discipline is not media design, a studio of computer science has little to do with graphics.
