    i really want to buy this laptop

    how well does the ati card perform on 3d modeling programs like maya, c4d or zbrush or XSI?

    i know there are other laptops way better than this like alienware, msi and asus but this is a very stylish laptop.


    let me know thank you very much

    The GPU of the studio 16 is more than capable of handling 3d-modelling programs like maya. The bottleneck for modeling/rendering programs like maya, 3ds max, etc. would be the CPU. Make sure you get a good performance CPU and you'll be ready to go! :)
    Cheers.

    I seconded. It all depends on the CPU. The actual 3D rendering is nothing. Get a CPU with the 6MB cache (T9XXX)
