My best friend is currently doing his evening school technician and needs a laptop for working with the SolidWorks CAD program. His budget is 400 euro.
Now my question is if he will get a laptop with a good graphics card or if he has to finance himself to get a better laptop.
Laptop suggestions are gladly accepted
For 400, you get a soldier multimedia model that handles most tasks apart from graphically intensive applications. Models that score with a good integrated graphics unit or even a dedicated graphics card, you will find more in the price range between 600 and 700 euro upwards.

What do you think of that?
For 400 euro that is rather close to nothing. But does it have to be a laptop? Since he is quite likely to have permanent heat problems speak not work properly. A PC would be the better alternative. Especially since you get twice as much power on a PC as a laptop for the same price.
There you will not find anything.
Solidworks wants memory. Although say what of 8 GB, but under 16 GB you should do nothing. In addition, a CPU from 3 GHz.
More problematic is the graphics card. Solidworks wants certified cards.
And that's where we end up at a Nvidia Quadro. For laptops, that would be the Quadro M2000 up
On average, you are lying there at 1,500 euro.
Lower limit, I would take this time:

And he will always be in a hurry.
