Has anyone figured out what laptops work the best for this program? I know some of the 17 inch models work better because of the larger screen. What about screen resolution. Does different resolution help. Like a 1920x1080 will it render a better 3D picture? Is it worth the money to go for an expensive gaming style laptop? Some of them are coming out with extreme screen resolution. Any one have some experience or thoughts on this?

Hey Champ, I think its a matter of person preference. I'm running the program on a laptop with 14" screen, 1366 x 768 resolution, I-5 processor, 8mb ram, and windows 10. The online manual gives the minimum system requirements. my system meets that and more. The program works just fine, is plenty fast with good resolution which works for me. I would think a gaming computer would be overkill and much more expensive. But to each his own. Re: Ideal Laptop Computer

Yes personal preference is a lot of it. I have a 15 inch with the same resolution. It does ok on smaller jobs. Longer taller walls a bigger laptop is better. I'm just not sure how much difference the high resolution makes. some of them are at 3840 x 2160.

I don't know much about that as I've only used the program on this one computer but I'm curious to know. Hope you get some useful feedback. I'll be watching the post.

With the updates I've been doing the past few weeks the program should work fine on any resolution, provided you have the DPI set properly for the resolution you are using.

Thank you Rob. I appreciate all the effort you put into the program. I don't exactly understand what you mean about having the DPI set right. Is that a setting on my computer or is it a program setting? Can you give a little feedback on that?
