I'm choosing a laptop for my studies, the question consists of 2 questions and how much VRam do I need? And which laptop is ideal for studying?

Have a look at the most popular CAD programs (Archicad, Allplan.). They indicate the technical requirements. I wouldn't buy a laptop but an Apple Book.

How so?

They were always better for graphics. Now there are probably hardly any differences to Windows. I've been a Macian for 25 years. However, Apple is criminally overpriced.

I've already developed myself, thank you 🙂, What kind of work do you use?

Therefore, as a Swabian, I'm allergic to the expensive 😂

A Mac in the office and a Mac Book Pro with an extra display in the home office. With the overview you can also choose a Windows laptop if you prefer. Everything is technical in it…

Here is an example of AutoCAD Revit system requirements.

Value: Well-balanced price-performance ratio Operating system ¹64-bit version of Microsoft® Windows® 10. Further support information can be found in the https://knowledge.autodesk.com/de/customer-service/account-management/users-software/previous-versions/previous-version-support-policy from Autodesk.CPU type Single or multi-core Intel®, Xeon® or i-Series - or AMD® processor with SSE2 technology. The highest possible CPU speed is recommended.

Autodesk® Revit® software products use multiple cores for many tasks. Memory 16 GB RAM

Typically enough for a typical editing session on a single model with up to approximately 300MB of hard drive space. This estimate is based on internal tests and customer reports. The models may differ in terms of computer resource usage and performance data.
Models created in previous versions of Revit software products may require additional free space for the one-time upgrade.

I would not buy a notebook, certainly not one from Apple, but an upgradeable desktop PC. Plus a decent 4k monitor.
