If you are using a mapping drone such as the M3E, M3M, M300 you will need to process your images into a digital map, typically using DJI Terra Ag. – DJI’s image processing software for agriculture. DJI spray drones and mapping drones typically come with a free trial subscription to Terra Ag. You just need a computer with at least 32G of memory (RAM), and a decent graphics card. The Gigabyte G5 MF Laptop with GTX 4050 6GB GDDR6 and 64GB RAM is very powerful for this task! We sell and suggest this model as it has good specs (meets the above recommendations from DJI), is more durable that others in its category (for in-field use), is relatively low cost for a laptop of these 'gaming' specs. And being a laptop it can be taken out on site and used to plan and execute missions with your mapping drone – an alternative to using the smaller screen on the mapping drone controller. Asus says drop tests ensure every TUF Gaming laptop can resist damage from unexpected falls, knocks, and bumps during shipment and daily use. Of course, you can also use the laptop for general use / replace your current laptop if it's getting old.
