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.

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

Used/Refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad P series. Check Lenovo Outlet, eBay, etc. On eBay I see quite a few P16 models available in your price range. Personally, I would buy a P16 Gen 1 or 2 off eBay. Avoid the P series models with the -s suffix (ex: P16s) as those are not the same. If you get a workstatio

Looking for new laptop (looking for suggestions from oldheads)

I used a lenovo P14 when i was working in industry. Did a great job... my suggestions would be the P series (ThinkPad P16) if you want it as your daily workhorse, I found the T series a bit under-powered. 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.

Bærbar som kan trække Revit (Tegningsprogram) uden problemer og lidt gaming på siden

Nu gamer jeg godt nok ikke på min laptop, men sidder at tegner i både AutoCAD, Inventor og Fusion.Jeg har en ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 med en I7-14700 og et RTX 3500, og den gør det glimrende.. Men den koster så også lidt, og måske lidt bulky til studiebrug. Ved ikke lige hvordan Revit kører på Mac, men ha

Preferably you'll need a laptop with dedicated graphics card to smoothly run cad softwares but a good creator laptop or businesses laptop will also work.. Minimum 16gb ram GAMING LAPTOP: HP VICTUS, LENOVO LOQ, ASUS TUF these are budget to midrange ones High end ones(expensive) HP OMEN, LENOVO LEGION

Get a ThinkPad P16 Gen 4 AMD. Will cost more but last you 7 years. Much cheaper and better in long run.

Question for Lenovo marketing; any chance a Thinkpad with a good gfx card will be available again in the near future?

At this moment, the Thinkpad with the best gfx card available for my needs is a P1 gen 7 with a nvidia 4060. The Ada cards don't offer the same performance and cost a bit more. This is nonsense. The RTX 4060 is an Ada card, and Ada generation cards do offer better performance than earlier Ampere car
