If you look above at Post 31279 I show a laptop that I remarked was much faster than the one I obtained way back in 2019. My Eddie Z computer would also be much slower than the one you show in your screen shot. However, my RAM is 32.0 GB and I have a 1 TB Solid State drive. Keep that in mind regarding my comments below. I have to say that my Eddie Z Laptop works like I have always wanted a computer to perform. It is the first to complete any Windows Updates - while my other (older computers) are still downloading I am already logged in to that Windows Updated Voyager-Z370 Laptop. Also, it runs identical programs on all my computers much faster. However, even with the 32.0 GB you have to be careful running Strategy Wizards. I would suggest you keep your number of permutations to below 500 or you might run out of memory. This might be an OT issue (memory leak), but I don't honestly know. As far as GA and NN Training - I really hardly ever do that so I can't really comment. So, I think the microprocessor of the laptop you are considering should be just fine. However, you might want to consider pricing a RAM upgrade (just talk with an Eddie Z Rep - my laptop RAM is an upgrade). Whether or not a larger Solid-State Drive might be of any value I really don't know - if you are only running OT (VT) and a few other programs the 250 GB might be just fine - but make sure it is Solid State and not a conventional hard drive. Also note that I paid something like $2200 for my laptop way back in 2019 and so even if your new one cost you that considering inflation it would a fair bargain in my opinion. I hope that helps and I sure hope that if any more computer savvy OT user has any comments, they will chime in. Good luck, Tom Helget | |
