Currently i have a Sony Vaio Intel Pentium III 750 mhz, 128 mbram (will make it 256 mb soon).

I'm not sure if this will run "smooth" , as my videocard is a 8MB S3 Savage chip.


I haven't tried running Maya on it... maybe i won't be able to run it at all (because of my specs.

as long as your laptop has at least a GeForce2 GO you should be fine.... you need a 3D capable video chip...


but i've seen people running Maya on PII400MHz, so if your laptop is relatively recent, you should be golden

In the last two months i followed a course about Maya, i used to run the program on a laptop (PIII 1,2Ghz, 512Mb and Ati 3d Chip) even if the ati card suffered a bit, unless you build up heavy scenes (i used to work with external references and then stick all the parts together for the final renders) the laptop is capable to assume the work.
Hope this helped.

See you.

it's working for me, but only the crappy vid card, savagemx, is a little pain in the ass every now and then

Runs fine on an Ti Book 550 with 1 gig of ram.

dude, i got a dell... lol

pIII 700Mhz, 256RAM, 32MB ATI Rage.

It runs okay, but let me tell you, if you get into some heavy stuff, the memory usage will sometimes jump to about 125 or so and you'll feel it slow down drastically. Most of the time, though, no problems at all.

I got this computer a year ago, so I'm sure you could get something that really kicks butt now, so as long as price doesn't matter to you, then look around and you'll find something good.
