I said just use what your “team” uses in another post, and that’s still the right answer, but if you’re not gonna do that:
Get a mac if you’re gonna actually do any laptop shit with it. If you already have a laptop or seriously can’t make that jump or don’t wanna do that or have to work with a software stack that requires pc+gpu then just build a desktop pc to use as a render node or actually consider getting a mac desktop as well.
They’re very fast at what you’re describing doing.
