Which computer is better for me?

Morning,

my studies soon start after my apprenticeship as draftsman, where we will draw with CAD programs.

I would like to be mobile so that I can take the laptop with me from time to time.

My favorite would be a Macbook:

But I also consider buying a desktop PC and a cheaper laptop in the university, for example. To be able to hold a PP. This would not be used very often, which is a thorn in my side.

And then do the drawing work at home, on the desktop PC

The Macbook I would close at home to a docking station.

For drawing, the Macbook is sufficient, because we only draw in 2D, whereby my company laptop from Dell can also render 3D drawings for 400 Euro and does not freeze or crash.

That depends on the CAD program. In training, this will mostly be Autocad. Most laptops are not that suitable because you need a really good graphics card. But there are also special laptops in the price range from 2000 euro are reasonably fit for it. From Apple, I would advise in the context as the program that uses your probably probably for Windows. As far as I can see, there's also a MAC version.

I would advise you to a Windows desktop PC.

Autocad is available for MAC, but many other programs do not, so you need a remote desktop or boot camp.

I've found laptops that are special for CAD.

Only I think a desktop PC for just under 2000 euro would be better right?

But how do you get your data presented at the university?

In my opinion, the ipad is not doing so well.

Why?

Ipad you can forget about it. Desktop is always better for CAD. Yes, with the university or school is always a problem. I have especially for our trainees in the area a high-powered laptop for around 3500 Euro bought - but it is also clunky, heavy and has 15 "display. They can borrow then Yes, is really a problem always dragged the desktops.
Desktop computer and then access via remote desktop on it, but RDC with CAD is rather cramp. Maybe desktop and then via TeamViewer on it for presentations - if the 1st is permissible and 2. Stable WAN connection available.

Hmm okay,

yes, with the Wi-Fi is a big unknown.

Whereby you could buy a laptop for around 500 euro so you can be mobile with which you do not necessarily draw but on the go MS applications easily done. Which then does not run regularly but which can't be changed.

In addition, you can then gamble on this desktop PC synonymous one or the other game.

Yes, just have to look that the laptop then at least halfway with the CAD runs if you need it. As I said, desktop performance is always better and much cheaper anyway (more power for the money).

Yes, Autocad runs on my 400Euro company pc, so that should not be a theam

Look here I've put together for you:

You could halve the Ram and save about 200Euro to invest more in the laptop or a Cpu Kuehlung. Monitor, I have now times a reigmacht have to stop looking what you need there. For the GPU, a Quadro card with Nvidia is actually recommended for CAD, but they are useless for gaming in the price range. If you do not need the PC right now, I would wait for the RX 5700 or 5700 custom designs instead. I think the RX 64 should actually be enough for 2D Cad, and the PC is better than the MacBook by far.

Just write for questions.
