Re: recommendation for ThinkPad notebook
Be careful with laptops. Even if the cores and clock speeds are better, rendering is something that takes a long time. In this situation some laptops are constrained by the thermal system. As the constant calculations generate heat it can soon overwhelm the thermal system, and then the CPU throttles until the temps drop to within acceptable levels.

Desktops typically don't get this kind of thermal throttling (or to a much lesser degree because of the much better cooling), so maybe consider running a laptop and desktop to get the benefits of both portability and power.
