The most important and usefull thing is using ctrl+space . You can create view with 4 windows ( for example 3d, node editor, 2x image editor) and quickly switch beetwen them. I am glad if i help :)
Yes! Definitely one of the best shortcuts. Even on a desktop
What shameless self promotion! This post should be removed as it's virtually useless.
This was quite highly requested actually. If you don't find it useful you can ignore it
can someone recommend a good budget laptop for blender and game dev, im constantly traveling around for uni and work. i said budget cause here out in iran prices are 3times more :(
Aww that's a shame :/ if you gave me a rough equivalent of what you would be looking to spend in USD, I can make some recommendations :)
around 700 - 500 usd i guess
I'd go for something like this. Great quad core CPU. Fast dedicated graphics for rendering. Should be a beast for Blender:
