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.

What kind of specs do you buy for standard users?

I have lenovo x1 carbon the best laptop I had experience with. Personally I have a p16 v version for heavy compute. I have used dell precision and business edition. Not fan of HP. But I moved myself to AVD.

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

Forget about T, E and X series in this case (except X1 Extreme). He needs a laptop with a dGPU, maybe Zbook Fury, Zbook Studio, Dell Precision 5000/7000 series or a ThinkPad P16/P1 Gen 5 and above or X1 Extreme gen 5.
