I want to buy this laptop:
Asus laptop N56JN-CN089H
and upgrade its ram to 12GB and put in a 256GB SSD.
does anyone know if DAZ will run smoothly on this laptop?
The GPU is: NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M 2GB.
cheers for any info.
Angus

Which "DAZ"? I don't think the how well the company runs has much to do with its customers computers.
The website? Well.. I'm not sure that's really working perfectly for anyone right now, and that seems to be independent of computer system or browser. Internet speed seems to be a factor.
Hexagon? See above, doesn't really work perfectly for anyone, some better than others, computer system seems to have little to no effect on how buggy it is. I think it rolls a d10 and uses that to determine how ornery it will be that day.
Carrara, Bryce, Studio? Processor is the most important component for rendering in those 3 programs, it has an I7 so you're just fine on that. (And within reason it's not so much if it will work it's how long it will take to render the image) Memory is the 2nd most important as that lets you move around the viewport and keep textures and stuff in memory. 12gigs is sufficient. Obviously more is better, you might run into issues if you try to render a crowd of G2's with full clothes and a bunch of different skin textures, but for almost all normal stuff that should be fine. I think the only thing to really watch for is overheating since it's a notebook. Put it on a hard flat surface and make sure the vents aren't blocked at all when you're rendering or working with a scene with a lot of things in it. Studio (not sure about the other 2) will use all your processor to its max limits when it renders, if you don't make sure it has enough air flow you could fry the little thing.
great! thanks for the info! I was referring to daz studio 64 bit.
Yep, should be very fine then. That laptop is comparable to my full tower in specs, I have 16 gigs of memory but otherwise very similar and I have no problem with DS 64.
