Currently running MC7 on desktop I had built, but shopping for laptop for travel. I am debating whether to buy fairly basic laptop or pay more and get laptop that could run MC7. I don't want to pay $2600 plus for "avid tested" HP workstation laptop, but see Dell Alienware 14 at least offers Nvidia GPU which I know MC7 likes and cost is around $1200 depending on options. I don't like 6 pound weight of Alienware for travel, and I won't depend on laptop for editing, but I could justify paying $1200 for laptop that would give me option to run MC7 if I run into situation where I would want to edit while travelling. Specs for Alienware 14 as follows:
CPU options are 4th generation Intel core i5 or i7.
OS is Win7 home premium 64 bit.
GPU options are Nvidia GeForce GT750M (1 or 2 GB; Keplar GK107 Core; 384 CUDA cores) or GTX 765M (2 GB, Keplar, 768 CUDA cores).
8 to 16 RAM options.
Trying to get answer from Dell regarding running MC7 but no luck so far (doubtful I will get answer) so turning to forum for thoughts/suggestions. Thank you, Dennis
