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

What laptop should I get as a product/industrial design major
Person who made this sheet shows hints that he has little knowledge about configs and pcs. 1-NPUs litterally are still useless basically only windows and some apps use them for basic things like background blur and some shit, if you hvae a good GPU its basically redundant, ik npus are more efficient

Engineering Laptops for Engineering
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

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.

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