I need a laptop that can perform computations faster and is suitable for developing and testing computational codes on Windows and Linux operating systems. There are laptops for game applications, graphics design and for other specialize areas. So which laptops have been specifically designed to handle computations? If such a laptop exists, can it perform very large computations like a mini supercomputer?
Laptop for performing faster computations
Hi Taylor B Campos,
I will advise you on the best options you have. For a laptop that processes computations quickly, I would suggest using a laptop that is designed for gaming purposes. This would your needs as these laptops are usually equipped with powerful processes and a substantial storage capacity that would definitely aid you in your endeavors.
Here are two options to consider:
1. ASUS ROG G750 series
Â
This laptop is quite powerful as it has all the latest technologies embedded in it. This laptop runs smoothly, does not overheat and does not make a lot of noise. It runs quietly. Its performance is quite superior compared to similar laptops within its price range. It's a must-have if you desire the best performance and code calculation speeds.
Here are its specifications.
Processor: Intel Core i7 4700HQ (2.40 GHZ)
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Storage: 1 TB Hard disk drive
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTXÂ 870M
Display Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Price: 1500 – 2000 USD

2. MSI GE70 Apache Pro
The second model I would suggest is the MSI Apache Pro. This laptop is sleek and powerful while being cheaper than the ASUS listed above. This laptop is powerful and quiet, however, it's a bit heavy and may be a burden to take around. Its rendering of high definition graphics is superb and its processing power is superior.
Here are the specifications:
Processor: Intel Core i7 4710HQ (2.50 GHZ) can be overclocked to 3.50 GHZ
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Storage: 1 TB Hard disk drive
Video: Intel HD graphics 4400 integrated plus GeForce GTX 860M
Display Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Price: 1000 – 1300 USD
The Verdict
Based on the overall reviews given by programmers and gamers, the overall rating of the ASUS G750 is higher than that of the MSI GE70. This means most programmers and gamers consider the performance of the ASUS G750 to be superior to that of the MSI GE70.
They are two very powerful computing and gaming laptops. Your choice may be influenced by your budget since the ASUS is more expensive compared to the MSI. Whichever you choose, you are in for a great buy.
Thank you.
