Laptops

Now that 4K video and 20-50MP sensors are becoming the new normal for photographers and videographers, common tasks like RAW file noise reduction and video rendering are becoming increasingly time consuming and painful to watch. That’s especially true on the road, where we’re limited to laptop power. Nvidia and its Windows partners are trying to address that with a number of new models that include high-performance GPUs. I covered them in some more detail on ExtremeTech. I’ve also ordered a new Dell Precision 5540 to replace my current Dell XPS 15 9560 (current models are the Dell XPS 9570 and Dell XPS 7590), so I’ll be able to report on performance results in more detail over the coming month.
