About notebook hardware specification to run and show the model about ...

I want to know which notebook is best ( the price and performance) in the case of followed model.

A model description....

1) fixed resources : 1,500 like processor and queue

2) task executers : 800 like elevator and AGV

3) flowitems : 2000 items with 15 label values at one time

In the case of the a little fixed resources but very much flowitems about 5000 items like bottles, My current Dell XPS 15z note book was thrown into consternation after running the model and I could make the video of it for sending it to the customer with difficulty in last year.

The current CPU is i7-2620M @2.7GHz, 8GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M 4GB.

I am recently taking a look the note book model of DELL Alienware 15 R3 of i7-7700HQ @3.8GH, 16GB, 16GB memory and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050Ti with 2GB GDDR5.

Have you ever been experienced Dell Alienware 15 R3 or like that specification notebook about above expected model?

Or I want to listen the other recommendation from anyone.

Regards.

FlexSim 17.0.2

the 1060 GTX is the minimum requirement to be able to use VR headsets like Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The first one, and very soon the latter one as well, are supported by FlexSim, so you can immerse into your model.

There are a lot of ways to mess up a FlexSim model in a way, that it is hard to display smoothly no matter what the hardware of the machine is. In your example I would try to trim down the AutoCAD file to what is really necessary for you to have included.

@david.seo I would currently definitely try to go for at least a GTX 1060 (the 6Gb version). We just bought an MSI GS43VR (14") which performs very well. Here is a site that shows laptops with the GTX 1060 and still being small and or light: ultrabookreview

You could also check out companies that use for instance a clevo barebone where you can select your components. We have one in our neighbourhood (BTO) and the good thing is that you can select what you want in your laptop and if something is broken they have there own repair shop so even replacing the motherboard is done in a couple of days instead of having the laptop being send to the other side of the world ;-)

I have the same notebook Steven mentioned (MSI) and can confirm it is performing very well. In case you want to use VR, I believe the 1060 is the minimum you should have, the 1050 doesn't do it.

Let us know, what you ended up with.

@steven.hamoen, @Ralf Gruber

Thank you Ralf and Steven.

Which advantage does "VR feature of GTX 1060" provide to us when using flexsim?

I want to hear more your explanation about it or experience.

I do not decide yet which model is suitable for me. The price or the performance of it?

Recently I feel the performance of using flexsim is higher point than the price of it.

After importing some large AutoCAD file as background and when viewing around the total layout, turning the total view is not smart. I feel it's too heavy to move and scroll the view.
