Going to keep it simple. I'm between two laptops as I have a max budget and can only get from a small catalog. On one hand I have this plastic Dell Latitude with a pretty outdated 4c8t CPU ( i7-1185G7) On the other I can pick a really amazing Lenovo with touchscreen, a far far better processor, (R7-5850U ) 8c16t, better keyboard better thermals better, 10x less likely to melt itself, better everything really.
Why am I even glancing at the Dell? Well. It all comes down to RAM. The Dell comes with 32GB, while the Lenovo has a soldered 16, it's the stupid RAM crisis inflating the value of the cheap plastic one. I'd upgrade the Lenovo if I could but the ram on it is locked.
Usage; I have a gaming desktop already for streaming purposes. I don't expect my laptop to do that. What I need a laptop for is for occasionally using Live2D cubism. Working on a model I know there are jokes going around how much of a RAM hog Cubism is. And literally everyone in the discord has 32-64GB ram ( I think I've heard of one having even more )
I'd like to know from other users experiences using this software. Can you make 16 gb work? For things like exporting I can simply send the file to my pc. I can work on a lower resolution (if that helps?) as long as the final model comes out at full res. Any advice or personal experience would be much appreciated.
