Have you tried the wide MR85 in any yoyo yet? Curious how it feels unresponsive. ---

Assuming your using free cad you’ll want to Try to exceed the recommended system requirements. - Operating System: Windows 10, macOS 10.14 or later, or a Linux distribution - Processor: Multi-core processor with a clock speed of 2GHz or higher - RAM: 8GB or more - Graphics Card: Dedicated graphics card with OpenGL 4.0 support or higher - Hard Drive Space: SSD with at least 10GB of free disk space Free cad isn’t optimized well for multi threading so more cores does not equal better in this case. Dedicated graphics is the kicker on a laptop that’s gonna suck battery life hard or make the machine heavy. ---

If you’re using fusion most of it is on the cloud so you can run it on pretty much anything. For 3D printing your just running a slicer which isn’t processor intensive. For reference my laptop is 6-7 years old and I can run fusion and cura just fine. ---
