Hi Ian,
I work as a freelance 3D designer and bought a Gigabyte Aero 17 maxed out with 64GB ram, Intel Core i9 10th Gen and Nvidia RTX2080 Studio. I bought this just before lock-down because I thought I'd be working on site but not been in a studio since then. I paid £4.800 for it then and did a test on a insane project. Team rendered on my i7 27" iMac with 32GB and my Macbook Pro with 16GB, took 5.5h and then on my PC Laptop... 26min. To be honest, I wish I'd spent that money on a desktop... would have got a BEAST! Yes, Ian, Threadrippers seem to be the way forward, quite a few friends of mine have them. How much are you thinking of spending? I could ask some advice for you. Anyway, hope this has been helpful and feel free to contact me if you have any more questions, have a good evening :-) John
