Michael_Gia Posted Monday at 06:53 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:53 PM I will be picking one of these up. chief seems to like Lenovo. Any objections? For the same money, that is? That’s CAD $2000 = $1430 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted Monday at 10:59 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:59 PM I have the Slim Lenovo. It is good but not great with PBR, NVIDIA RTX 4060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_Gia Posted Tuesday at 12:43 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:43 PM I went ahead and ordered the Legion 5i. The bestbuy dude said that if the price goes down within 30 days or so I’ll get the discount as well. When I get it I will post a M3 MacBook vs a modest RTX4060 machine PBR render time comparison. Should be amusing. If it’s not I will return the piece of crap. kidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted Tuesday at 02:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:09 PM That's got more everywhere than my older Lenovo GP76 Leopard gamer, which runs Chief well when rendering. Mine has the 17" screen though, which for my tired old eyes, is essential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_Gia Posted 11 hours ago Author Share Posted 11 hours ago For anyone seeing this in the future who is still contemplating pc vs macOS… The RTX4060 (considered modest) vs the 2023 MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip, 36G of ram, here is the result. PBR exterior render 100 samples: RTX = less than 3 seconds. M3 Pro = 110 seconds. At 50 samples I can actually move around in realtime on the PC. 50 Samples gives a very good final image in my opinion. I was led to believe that realtime PBR navigation was not possible on any 4060. The reason for this is that the pc community has a very high bar in what they consider performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you post a screen capture video of that in progress? The windows snipping tool does video record that you can easily copy then paste into the forum post.
