I’m in the market for a new computer that can efficiently handle large GIS databases in ArcGIS Pro, as well as process LiDAR datasets and other large spatial datasets. I'm looking for recommendations for:
1. A system optimized for ArcGIS Pro – Needs to smoothly handle large geodatabases, spatial analysis, and 3D rendering.
2. A system for LiDAR processing – Capable of handling intensive point cloud processing in software like LAStools, Terrasolid, or Global Mapper.
Key specs I’m considering:
High-performance CPU
Ample RAM
Dedicated GPU
Fast storage
If you’re running similar workflows, I’d love to hear what setups work best for you! Any insights on balancing cost vs. performance would be great. I have looked at the ArcGIS Pro system requirements page but I would like to hear from folks who are actively using computers that they like. Thanks in advance!
