Dream laptop

ThinkPad P16 if mostly on desk, P1 gen 8 if you need a bit more portability. Desktop if it doesn't need to be a laptop, much more power for your money.

Some mfs said "E series = E-Waste"

Part of it is they're pretty much made by a completely different company. Most ThinkPads (T, X1, X, P, L, Z and probably also the X9 to get their intrusive thoughts out) are designed and engineered by Yamato Design in Japan, a design firm that has existed since the IBM days.

2 SolidWorks users on one RTX 2000 Ada – can a single GPU realistically be shared?

There is no good way to handle this why not buy a cheaper / older gpu. You’re going to lose more time on money, support and licenses to run all of this then actually buying a 2nd machine. I would just buy a ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (16” Intel) Mobile Workstation something like that

Looking for new laptop (looking for suggestions from oldheads)

I think the X series are also typically pretty good as well. Would at least get the 14 inch scr

Buying help

If using a RTX Pro (formerly Quadro) graphics is required due to drivers or the ISV certification, you can buy an used workstation on eBay for a decent price, I bought a ThinkPad P16 workstation laptop with a RTX A3000 with 12GB for $1000. There are others brands like Dell or HP too.
