Hi all, I’ve configured a laptop which I’m planing to use mostly for astrophotography processing with pixinsight. Pixinsight developers do recommend very high end processors and lots of RAM so I’m hoping my configuration will be adequate.
I’m currently using an old 3227u processor with only 6gb ram which usually takes all night to do a single process/algorithm in pixinsight so I’m hoping with the much better 8750h and 32gb ram I will cut a lot of time off my processing. I’m also going to get the evo970 m.2 ssd which will be helpful again. What do you think? I don’t want to spend any more if I’m honest but if I’m missing something please let me know.
Thanks for any help! Ken
