    Was about 2000 usd brand new, which i think amounts to about 1000 bucks in good comdition now?

    Its an acer nitro 5 an515-55, p nice specs for when it released (2016-2020 ish i think).

    Actually my gf's old work machine (she does a lot of 3d modelling), we got a replacement free of charge because of manufacturing error regarding the battery, so its just been laying around. Perfect for this usecase as i just removed the battery, bypassing any funkiness in there.

    So yeah lots of unknown variables there. If i had completely free choice id have gone with an amd gpu based machine. Muuuch less setup involved. The only real challenge in the setup was getting the nvidia gpu to play nice lol

    sry for the infodump you triggered my 'special interest' trap card :P
