Laptop für CAD? (Nvidia-GPU Ja/Nein)? - Maschinenbaustudent

Die Frage nach generellen Systemvoraussetzungen ist schwer zu beantworten - AutoCAD gibt es seit 1982, dementsprechend gering waren da die Anforderungen an die Rechenleistung. Für komplexe 3D Modelle mit Strömungssimulation braucht man deutlich mehr Rechenleistung als für 2D Zeichnungen. Das generel

Is a used Thinkpad P15 gen1 going to cut it for the next 4 years in university?

A thousand bucks for a Skylake CPU? It's already hopelessly obsolete, in four years that CPU will be 15 years old tech. Nah my man. Nope. A ThinkPad P15 Gen 2 15.6" 4K i9-11950H 64GB RAM 1TB RTX A4000 on eBay is $980. It's the first result when I searched for ThinkPad A4000. Do not get bamboozled by

I need your expert opinion on which thinkpad to get, the P15 or P16. I think these are the best models for me so please tell me what I need to look for when buying one used.

I'm sorry this is so confusing! There are a lot of aspects to this and by implication this is a big important decision where the consequences of spending $300 on something inappropriate for your needs are fairly high. If that's not true then my recommendation is to buy the one you had your eye on be

If you were shopping for Dell's lowest-end consumer laptop, I'm curious why you think a ThinkPad P-series is what you need? Especially since the use cases you've mentioned aren't going to take advantage in the things P-series have that, T/E/L series or Dell Latitude or Dell Pro series don't have. 13

Apakah ini good deal atau penipuan?

Menurut saya mahal sih itu. 5jt-an harusnya harga wajarnya. Tapi bisa jadi pengaruh harga ram sama storage naik. Ram sama ssd bekas ikut naik soalnya. Harga segitu udah bisa dapet workstation kaya ThinkPad P15 Gen 1 ato sekelasnya ato yang processornya lebih modern kalo tetep pengen yang compact. At

P15 gen1 places for parts

I'm currently restoring a P15 Gen1 and it's place for a Smart Card Reader according to official Lenovo Service Manual. Not really worth getting it unless you're working with smart cards. I'm actually thinking about using that dummy placeholder to place a micro switch for tricking the motherboard tha

My thinkpad’s battery drains too fast

There must be a short circuit between the power rails on the motherboard. I have two Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 1 laptops (call them XLap and YLap). XLap lasts for 25 minutes on a fully charged battery XBATT, and YLap 3.5 hours on YBatt. The Lenovo Diagnostic showed both batteries were at 92% health le

Gnome x11 Leap 16

Yeah, but with my ThinkPad P15 Gen1 it's not working as for whatever reason the two external Monitors are not recognized by the Nvidia Driver. As far as I know X11 does it's hardware enumeration by its own and there it seems to work.
