ThinkPad P51

I agree that future-proofing is dumb, but unless you're using the device for work purposes, you will likely not be replacing it within 5-7 years. In my anecdotal experience, people keep personal laptops and computers for much longer. My wife and I are still using an early 2013 Retina MacBook Pro as

Ich würde da Richtung gebrauchte Thinkpad P- oder W-Serie schauen. Das sollte für die Hälfte machbar sein, wenn du nicht gerade die Bleeding-Edge Version brauchst.

However, the MS Surface with the same processor will receive t

I used a Lenovo ThinkPad P51 (irrc) all throughout college running SolidWorks, ANSYS, etc without any issues (granted, we weren't dealing with huge/complex assemblies in SolidWorks or high node counts in ANSYS). The specs were an i7, 32GB RAM, and a Quadro M1000M GPU if I'm remembering correctly. Th

No, I’m referring to a Txx0p type machine (moniker last seen with the 2016/2017 models) https://psref.lenovo.com/WDProduct/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T460p If you’re referring to an actual P type machine (workstation) probably wouldn’t be too bad, footprint, weight and noise/thermals notwithstanding (somethi
