Question
hi,
which laptop do you think is the best for animation?i  have heard a lot about alienware laptops.also,is it available in india?

Answer
hi jesly, personally i love the laptops made by apple computer. although it is preferable to work on a desktop mac, i can still do professional-level work on my apple laptop when necessary. unfortunately, apple charges a bit more for their computers.

sorry, i am not familiar with alienware laptops. if you are doing any heavy-duty animation work, i think you will need to find a computer that is souped up with a good processor, lots of RAM, and plenty of harddrive space. animation is extremely processor intensive, unlike surfing the internet or using microsoft word. i think you will be very unhappy if you pick a slow computer, even if it is cheaper, because you will waste a lot of your time while the processor tries to keep up with you.
