Daz Studio on Gaming Laptop?

Some people do so no reason why not, but heat is a problem for laptops running long renders. If you don't need to take it from place to place I'd say a desktop is best, and much easier to upgrade components.

I guess it al depends on what you want to do. And speaking from personal experience...bought decent desktop last year, very happy in the beginning. Now I notice because I got more power, I make "bigger" scenes. And now I want more power LOL

So...
I guess simple scenes would work fine on an LT

I'm so sorry it didn't post the last one but this is the laptop ASUS TUF F17 Gaming Laptop it's on Amazon it's the one now for $785.43 .... But as a ex computer repairman... You're under the wrong impression about laptops they are just as good as a desktop computer it's practically the same internals of course the RTX 3050 in this case does have a desktop and a laptop version of it which do have less power for the laptop version but they are still very similar and you will be very happy and be able to do anything you need to do on the laptop that I provided to link for...

You can completely use a gaming laptop - just be picky as to which brand(s) you get, since in my experience some will burn out in 18 months or so under near-constant load, and others will last a lot longer no matter how hard you pound on it.

Be prepared to spend the money to get the good stuff, and focus on three things:

• screen size (15" or bigger - graphics is all about visual real estate.)
• GPU (the better, the better)
• drive space (preferably two disks - one for system, one for all your data storage.)

On drives, if the 2nd HDD is a puny size, don't sweat it too much, since you can always upgrade. I recently bumped my 2nd HDD from a 2TB PCIe to a 4TB one, and it cost me $215 USD ($200 for the drive, and $15 for the PCIe USB3.1 tC enclosure to facilitate file transfers).

HTH!

I've always used a laptop for Daz, the biggest issue being VRAM: Nvidia puts less memory on their laptop GPUs, so you have to go bigger there than a desktop user would. So make sure you aim high (4080 or 4090) and you'll be sittin' pretty for a few years. Best bang for your buck models are the HP Omen 16/17, Asus Strix G18, Eluktronics Prometheus XVI G2, or my personal pick, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i. Depending on your budget this is a great month to shop, in part because of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals, and because new laptop models are usually unveiled at CES in January so there's a desire to push late models prior to that.

Before you sell the family cow ask yourself some questions like I did last week before buying a new box -
1. Do I really need it? If you only do a couple of renders a week it may not be cost-effective. I do dozens of renders every day so it ticked that box for me.
2. Can I afford it? Personally I wouldn't go into credit card debt as you'll be paying interest on top of the price. Interest rates on retail store credit cards is around 30% ATM, so fuck that shit. Although I'm on a govt. pension it's much higher than the US. My new pc is about equivalent to 6 weeks pension. I can deal with that in other ways so it ticked that box.
3. Operating costs. Obviously electricity prices are high everywhere. With top-end GPUs running long renders you'll be pumping up your power bills quite a bit, though they will finish faster. I've said good bye to DS and moved to SD with 10 second renders (1024x1536) on my new 4070 so that's no longer an issue for me.
The last thing you want to do is spend a pile of money on something you can't really afford and/or don't use very much. The same goes for cars, TVs or anything else.
