hello everyone, creating this thread to ask about what laptop i should get for HD video editing specifically using DaVinci. i dont want an Apple, so I’ve been eying the Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop with Intel Core i9-13900H Processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. is this a good choice? also, im hesitant about NVIDIA’s whole boasting about their card using AI driven graphics, would this somehow affect my future work in a negative way like image smoothing on HD TVs or is this something that’s avoidable? the laptop also has 16 gigs of RAM, would i need to get larger RAM too like the G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series (XMP) DDR4 RAM 64GB (4x16GB)? i’m a dummy when it comes to this stuff, so any help would be appreciated.

    Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop

    I was able to find that it is PCIE SSD, so it should be pretty good. The cpu also looks pretty good from a quick glance. I’m more of an AMD person so the different core types sort of gives me some pause.

    Total Cores: 14

    number of Performance-cores: 6

    number of Efficient-cores: 8

    Total Threads: 20

    So it would seem like this means you only have 6 full power cores 🤔
