[Qgis-user] Intel vs AMD

[Brent Wood]

 Hi,
Not specifically AMD vs Intel, that is pretty much irrelevant. It more depends which cpu (how powerful/fast, how much memory & how big & how fast the disk. Lower end laptops can struggle with significant processing tasks. Also do you run Windows or Linux? Linux compatability can be an issue, but much less than it used to be.

I have done very well for years picking up recycled ex-lease laptops for QGIS/Postgis etc... I reckon a good business quality laptop that came with a 3 year warranty when new, is 4-5 years old & has a used warranty for 6-12 months is generally a much better buy than a new consumer grade laptop with a 1 yr warranty.
A quick search found a few refurbished sellers in Perth (I'm in New Zealand so can't advise on vendors there), like:https://www.recompute.com.au/refurbished-laptops/https://www.reboot-it.com.au/used-laptops

Cheers,
