I do a fair bit of work in ArcGIS pro now and my workplace is looking to upgrade my laptop to something more suitable for this. However someone had recommended an HP Omen gaming laptop worth over $3k and I'm getting some push back on them being willing to spend this much.
The main sticking point appears to be the requirement for a dedicated video card with at least 4Gb RAM - I've found some other 'gaming spec' laptops closer to the $2k mark with 4Gb GPU that exceeds to recommended specs but I have no idea how dependent of a GPU this application would be.
I'm guessing most the GPU requirement comes from 3D analysis work I'll never do. But maybe it affects simple things like the speed of redrawing the extent when I zoom/scroll etc and therefore would be very important. Anyone have any idea how this software uses system resources and how important the GPU and it's associated RAM is?
Do others here use a laptop for Arc Pro? If so, what are your specs and performance experiences?
