Which Loerw Spec Notebook for Simulator
I know it's an open question and l have looked at the requirements of Pheonix and Heli-X but still don't have a spec to go shopping with.
In Melbourne Australia, the cheaper (low spec) notebooks have Intel HD5500 GPUs with i3 or i5 2GHz CPUs and 4Gb RAM. These are around $500Aus. Anybody running this lower spec machine successfully with both sims? At about $1250Aus, the Mac Book Air comes along. These have Intel CPUs as required by Heli-X. How much of a pain is Bootcamp, so Pheonix can be run? Will a low end Apple runt these successfully? Or do l have to have a 'game' spec machine to run both to avoid glitchy low frame rates? Any help appreciated. |

Pretty much if you can play a video on the PC, a sim is no problem. Only run Windows and Linux systems, so cannot comment on bootcamp for mac from experience. From what I have read from other people, it's not much hassle to run and sims run in it fine.

I'm running Accurc V3 alpha and Heli-X V10 demo on an Acer Aspire 3 non-gaming laptop with Intel 10Gen Quad-core Cpu and dedicated Nvidia MX230 card.
I would call this the absolute minimum for newer Sims. But it heats quite much at the bottom side. RealFlight V6.5 runs on a very old Amd Athlon Xp (32-bit) and some lower cost 6500 Nvidia card or how it's called. Reflex Xtr ran on a Acer Intel Core Duo Cpu and crappy internal Gfx. Newer chips are based on Intel Hd, Uhd, Iris, etc. Rf7.5 has the higher Polygons limit and requires Windows 7+ and just runs on DirectX 9.0c just like slightly updated versions RF8-9.5(s). Would recommend to get a gaming Laptop with 4 good not too loud fans with ventilation grilles on the back and right/left sides and supporting nice heatpipe system. Newer Laptops at least offer a Nvidia 1660ti or Rtx3060/3070 graphic card.
