I think the HP elite book 8730w is one of the fastes notebooks available. Up to 8 gb ram and quad core processor.
In use the 8730w with dual core T9600 processor and for now 2 gb of ram. Works good for stuctural fem analysis and small cfd. But for more serious cases i'm short on memory, so i have to upgrade my memory. |

If your doing sims of any appreciable size having space to upgrade and good ventilation are key benefits.
So, if your sims are big, don't. Get a big dekstop/workstation instead. You also really don't want to be using meshing and post processing software on a small monitor (admittedly, a 2nd donkey monitor could be run from a laptop but I find it less convenient). bramv - I'm surprised you've 24GB of RAM when Dell say the limit is 4x4GB... or 16GB! Do you have 6GB DIMMs?!?! |

Just ask your dell/hp sales contact, there is more available then on the website.
And above is also true: if you have only one resource then choose a good desktop not a laptop We have a cluster at our disposal to do the solving stage... |
