hello guys,
so i am searchin for a latop to run cubase 8 and other simialr audio programmes. i have already seen system requirements, but i would like to hear actual user opinions about the issue. so here are my questins:
1.which CPU is better for cubase 8? intel i3 4030u, OR Pentium N3530 or AMD A4-5000. how much effect does cpu have on cubase? (what would you suggest)
is 4 gb ram enough if i do not stress the program too much.
3.do i need dedicated graphics card?
Should i but my bucks in more ram rather then cpu?
THANKS ALL FOR SUPPORT feel free to share your opinions about the issue
CPU is the main component that determines Cubase performance when it comes to plugins. A better CPU can handle more plugins. I’m not well educated on the current market for laptop CPU’s but for desktops intel i5/i7 are preferred over AMD offerings and Intel Pentiums aren’t even sold anymore afaik;)
4GB ram should be fine if you’re not using too many samples. If your budget is tight I think you’ll benefit more from putting that money into a better CPU than into extra RAM.
Not really, most CPU’s these days have an integrated graphics chip that’s more than sufficient to run Cubase.
It does depend a bit on your typical project though. If you want to record many audio tracks simultaneously you may need a faster harddrive than what’s in most laptops.
