Dear community!
It is about the processing of up to hundreds, sometimes up to 100 Mb, shots to a final result in the field of astronomy. The software used needs powerful processor performance / write performance. The subsequent image processing is not without.
Of course, one could resort to the top models of renowned manufacturers, but I'm interested in tips that are based on your experience.
Important please: Instead of paying the brand name vigorously, I prefer to buy more power.
Ideal would be a robust housing…
Planned is Windows 10 & Linux Dualboot. Out with the insider tips…
For complex image and video editing, I would put on an Intel Core i7 or something equivalent of AMD. Furthermore, at least 8 GB RAM or even better 16 GB. In addition, an SSD provides in comparison to a HDD again for a decent speed boost, which is noticeable especially at boot times and when running programs. I have no idea if it pays any manufacturer. I do not care. For example, if I had an ASUS or Lenovo device for $ 500, and an Acer device with the same equipment cost $ 400, I would still choose ASUS or Lenovo. Are just next to Fujitsu my favorites. I did not hear that Acer often has heat problems. A few devices from HP are also fine. Anyone else has favorites anyway.
In order to be able to make a concrete recommendation, one would have to know how much power is really needed and which programs are being used. You can also use the price comparison of miser: https://geizhals.de/...de/?cat=nb
There you can set all the filters and show you the appropriate devices.
Is something important to you except the CPU performance and SSD?
The strongest CPU you get in a notebook currently seems to be the 9900K, the stronger Ryzen not yet.
Maybe a barebone
An SSD is less suitable for intensive writes, which is broken earlier. An SSD should not be defragmented either.
For your purposes, a powerful desktop would firstly be much cheaper and superior to the notebook.
Thank you! The programs are no secret, but they are likely to say something only to those interested in astrophotography: Pixinsight and Astro Pixel processor

There's a fully functional trial for both of them, but do not be surprised, they are both not intuitive to use, and you need to try real astrophotos and certain additional files to create for calibration. Either (DSLR) raw files or with "real" Astrokameras Fits files. You can download it on the web as well, but it can take some time until you get the hang of it…
Very fine, that you mentioned heat problems! That may not give it with the desired computer. The should also run in desert areas without biting.
Thank you! The calculator must unfortunately be portable. Otherwise it would be much easier - and cheaper, very correct.
Also elementary important. The computer must not have any heat problems and should work even at 40 ° air temperature without emergency shutdown.
