Joe_Carrick Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It will run X11, X12, X13, X14 and most likely several or all future releases. Why not upgrade your version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decorators3 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Thank you ...ok so should this is a good purchase. That's great. I would upgrade but my SSA has not been current since September 2020 so will be costly to invest in at the moment after just purchasing a computer .Business has not been great since COVID and is taking time to get back to normal But at least I know I'm ok with the computer. I can design a house - have no idea about computer specs. But I did take my time is getting this laptop with a lot of help from my friends so thank you for reinforcing my purchase decision Greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The nice thing about these newer laptops with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 is that they will do Real Time Ray Tracing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the SSA Side you will need to do a full upgrade since it expired, which will cost you about $700/yr as even SSA is now $595 , at the moment it would cost you $1875 BUT next month once X14 is released it will likely cost $2475........ so you might want to consider a small loan or something perhaps as eventually you'll being paying Full Price again, it's always best to keep SSA current. ( if you get X13 NOW...you will have SSA incl. so get X14 as well for the one upgrade price. ) * Disclaimer -- I do not work for Chief Sales , just want you to see the bigger picture.... M.

decorators3 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 so is ray trace better with each upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The New PBR RTRT ( Realtime Raytracing) is slowly getting there, and their are some issues in X13 but only for some it seems, so you'd want X14 which is supposed to release next month I think. There is a webinar on May 26th for a Preview on X14 as at the moment with no SSA you won't be able to download X14 Beta ( you will if you get X13 as your SSA will then be current .) M.

My old Toshiba had crisp clear colors It does sound like the Laptop screen is not well calibrated , so call Dell 1st as I'd have thought the AW laptops would have an .icc Color Profile or perhaps it just isn't enabled ?
