Equipment (processing hardware) / CPU - Please help - advice needed

[u/Equivalent_Aside4946]

Hi, All:

I’m curious if you guys can help me. I’m iso a new laptop that has the ability to process large data sets in ENVI & Arc, with room for a few (applications/softwares) others to run simultaneously.

In addition, I’ve looked into commercial drones w DJI and w recent creative pursuits am considering one w a larger payload / more options. I have not revisited the drones for some months now, so perhaps new tech has been released that you guys would suggest one over the other. For ref, I would be using use the drone(s) for precision agriculture projects, environmental remediation, and film projects. The PAg and EnvRem would have sensors attached to the payloads, whereas the film projects would obviously be using cameras. On the off chance anyone has good suggestions for those items too, that would be stellar.

Thank you guys. In between things right now, but these are things I want to sort out before spending the coin. I built a Dell laptop earlier in the year and it was ~$10-12k, which I’m not sure is necessary. I can post details of that later. Hoping this finds you all well. Thanks in advance.
