No xxxx.. I damn near screamed when they paid 4k for a dell 1620 with a 500gb hybrid drive. *smfh* I personally have to live on laptops since I travel, so until the 8th Gen shows a little more mobile promise.. I have to stick to my ryzen... And knock out 6 programs at once :)

Yes we all know single thread on intel is still stronger than AMD, and with what has been buzzing, AMD is going to soon put heavy pressure on that along with clock speed over the next year or two... but life isn't single core, and my ryzen 7 1700 (laptop mind you) is SPANKING our xeon 1620s and 1650s.. im not sure why our company pays through the roof for 1620s.. its a joke. And more unfortunately, my 'IT' will not listen to anything I have to say of what computers we should be using or the specs they have... They gave our Marketing laptops with i3s and 4gigs of ram to run adobe premier on... I'm mostly on the fence of building a desktop right now and where most of my curiosity lies, real world parts and results... I've conviced myself intel and AMD every other day... I really wanna build 2 but I know ill be 2500+ into a threadripper system as is.. They all have pros and cons. My little ryzen is kicking butt and I have no regrets.. especially since my previous laptop is a i7 5700HQ... the ryzen kicks it to the curb by 30-50% regardless of operation.. comparing a 8086k to a TR1950... single core and clock is the only thing it wins..

What were the clock speeds and Ram specs? While Im leaning to this to be true, Being a ryzen guy myself... Im curious how Ram timings and speeds are in effect/different in your scenario ...

Honestly, I don't use different levels all that often. So no, not really lol

I created short cut keys for view direction.... T- top R- Right L -left i - iso I don't know why I never did it sooner.. I hate two-key or right click commands... but the MX 2s master has done well too. my thumb is now my shift key so I can pan, zoom and rotate with one hand...
