Can I also work with CAD programs with a gaming laptop?

I would like to buy a gaming laptop to play with. The laptop should also run the CAD programs without any problems. I'm not sure whether a gaming laptop can handle it or whether it will run optimally?

I have now chosen this laptop as an example: https://www.cyberport.de/notebook-und-tablet/notebooks/razer/pdp/1c41-02j/razer-blade-15-advanced-2021-i7-32gb-1tb-ssd-15-qhd-240hz-rtx-3080-win10.html

Can someone help me or maybe give a tip for a solution.

There's no such thing as a "gaming laptop". These are perfectly normal laptops like any other. Why shouldn't the part "pack" CAD?

I don't see why the notebook shouldn't be able to do that. 32GB RAM and the Octa Core CPU are already a relatively powerful configuration in a notebook.

With CAD, you actually want a screen (or two) as large as possible. It is less dependent on the computing power.

If you don't mind this limitation, a gaming laptop should be sufficient.

Those are the ones with the funny and unnecessary LED lights and other bells and whistles.

Of course it works. The Blade 15 is, by the way, heavily overpriced, compared for example to the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H

More powerful CPU and GPU for 1300 euro less

Have cheaper ones already enough…

And why not? I think there's a difference between my Toughbook (business device) and Omen (gaming laptop).

The point is that this "Gamung" thing is just a marketing label and that a "Gaming" product can do everything that a product can do without "Gaming". The Omen is not a "gaming" notebook, but a powerful notebook. This sabotage of "gaming" rubbish increasingly leads to people throwing away money for pointless surcharges because of "gaming". Be it notebooks, PCs, chairs, tables, peripherals or monitors.

The FS apparently has exactly this thought. He / she can't do anything for that and I don't think anyone is stupid, but that shows how far this pointless marketing term has come.

A gaming mouse is a mouse, nothing special, a gaming monitor is a monitor and nothing else. A gaming laptop is a laptop.

I'm more than aware (and that bothers me a lot) that you just need to write "Gaming" beforehand and ask for 100 euro more. Only the division into business, convertibles, netbooks, gaming and the like has existed for a long time to simply define the area of application.
