Mobile workstations

Return to top

If you're a digital creative professional who's looking for a laptop which can provide outstanding performance around the clock, then you need a mobile workstation. A great choice for serious work on the go, a mobile workstation is perfect for hardware-intensive tasks, such as 3-D rendering and video editing.

What is a mobile workstation?

A mobile workstation is a high-performance laptop made to run hardware-intensive tasks. As such, mobile workstations are widely used today by all sorts of professionals - engineers, data scientists, architects, financial analysts, and so on - who need top-notch performance to complete their work as quickly, efficiently, and smoothly as possible.

One of the hallmarks of a mobile workstation is its ability to run multiple memory-hungry programs simultaneously. With the latest multi-core CPUs and masses of RAM, mobile workstations are portable, powerful workhorses that can handle pretty much everything you throw at them.

What's more, a mobile workstation excels in the graphics department. Every laptop has some sort of graphical processing unit, or GPU for short. However, it's usually a small, low-performance unit that's built into and shared with the CPU. On the other hand, a mobile workstation will have a discrete, high-performance GPU, drastically speeding up GPU-accelerated programs.

Why choose a mobile workstation?

In this digital age, there are few things more demanding for laptops to deal with than high-intensity digital creative endeavours. Animation software, 3-D modelling tools, video editing - the list is endless, but all these programs and workloads require a computer that's capable of running them efficiently.

That's where mobile workstations come in. Packing the kind of high-tech hardware you'd expect to see in a top-of-the-line desktop, mobile desktops provide users with potent computing power to complete their work when away from the desk. It's why mobile workstations are otherwise known as desktop replacements.

Mobile workstations boast multi-core processors, the best discrete graphics technology from the like of NVIDIA, and enough RAM to make even the most dedicated PC gamer envious. If you think this is the kind of laptop that'll fulfil your working needs, be sure to pick one up from Ebuyer alongside a high-capacity external SSD to store and transfer all your data.

Mobile workstations vs laptops

Laptops with efficient, power-sipping chips tend to be best for students and home users. These devices are ideal for day-to-day tasks like jotting down notes, streaming internet videos, and chatting to friends via social media. There's a huge amount of choice when it comes to laptops, so you won't have trouble finding the best laptop for you.

For many, however, the average consumer laptop simply isn't powerful enough to handle their must-have programs and creative endeavours. If your work involves the use of complex, demanding programs, then a mobile workstation is a great portable alterative to a fully-fledged desktop. Compared to laptops, mobile workstations are on average slightly heavier and consume more battery life, but you get significantly better performance in return.
