I am in charge of workstation procurement for a company that uses Mastercam, which is very similar to Solidworks. We exclusively use Dell laptops. This build meets our recommended specs for most use cases. We recently put together a similar spec using the Dell Pro Max 16 Plus, which is the replaceme

I bought the Precision 5490 last month. After a month of use, I am sure this is the best laptop I have ever owned. Specs Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 165H, vPro® Enterprise (16 cores, up to 5.0 GHz Turbo, 45 W) Windows 11 Pro, English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Spanish (Dell Technologies recommends Wind
