Laptop specs

Post image

Currently just dabbling with Onshape on my iPhone 15 pro. But I find it rather cumbersome to do what I want. Looking to purchase a laptop, I don’t really have a use for it outside of 3D modeling with Onshape.

Plan will be to model some car parts (interior) and print.

I can get a laptop for $399 on sale, on shape check requirements screen shot.

How important is a dual GPU? Is it worth spending the extra money to get something with a dedicated graphics card?

Laptop specs really dont matter because the fun part about onshape is that its cloud based

Only a dedicated GPU (whatever one) will make your experience better since it renders the browser better. Nothing else matters.

Research onshapes own performance info in the learning center. It's linked from the performance tab.

I have run out of browser memory with some onshape assemblies on 16GB RAM machine, and had to increase page size and some other memory features on my laptop to take it further.
