Hello,
I am currently looking for a workstation laptop that is suitable for running ESXi.
On ESXi, I am planning to run 1 Manger, 3 Controllers, 1 Center.
and below are the minimum system requirements for each:
Manager: 4 vCPUs and 16 GB of memory.
Controller: use 4 vCPUs and 4 GB RAM.
Center: 2 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM.
Total: 18 vCPUs and 36GB of RAM.
I was considering buying this Dell laptop (please check out the link below),
Dell Precision M7510 Mobil WorkStation i7-6820HQ 64GB Ram 1TB Thunderbolt M1000M | eBay
but since it has only 8 logical cores, now I am wondering if it could run my virtualization test environment smoothly.
If not, would you recommend me other laptops which cost under $2000?
Thank you.
