    Recommended Laptop To Run 3D CAD?

    Chaps,

    Any recommendations for an affordable 3D CAD laptop, will be using Solidworks or Fusion 36, budget £100-£500.

    Cheers

    Bry

    I don't mean to be rude, but you have to raise the funds by a thousand.

    Surely a HP Zbook workstation laptop would be fine for relatively simple 3D part modelling etc?

    From: Autodesk for Fusion 360https://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...usion-360.html

    Recomended specs for complex modeling and processing:

    CPU Type 3 GHz or greater, 6 or more cores
    Memory 8-GB RAM or greater
    Graphics Dedicated GPU with 4 GB or more VRAM, DirectX 11 (Direct3D 11 or greater)



    From experience, laptop fans can sound like jet engines, so the more powerful the system the better, as hopefully less stress = less heat = less fans running.

    I've just bought this for one of our techs.

    Over your budget but it will give you an idea of the specs required.
