I have been looking for the best laptop that can accompany me during my upcoming interior design studies for a long time, but I do not have much knowledge in this area and therefore wanted to contact the forum again.
I'm looking for a laptop with at least 16 GB RAM and up to a budget of 1,500 euro.
I think a 15.6 inch display would be ideal for working with detailed programs, but I'm not sure whether a 14 incher would be easier for transport and use in university, what would be your recommendation here?
Of course I need a strong graphics card, because I will work with CAD programs such as: Vektorworks, Archicad, Autocad, Rhinoceros, 3D Max and Cinema 4D, as well as image editing programs such as: Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator.
I would also like to be able to cut videos.
I chose three notebooks through my own research and would also like to ask your opinion here:
Lenovo Legion 5i, 15.6-inch, i5 processor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, GeForce 2060
MSI Prestige 15 A10SC-012, i7 processor, 16 GB, 512 GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1650
Lenovo Legion Y540
What would be your opinion on these notebooks or which notebook would you recommend otherwise?
Chromebook or MacBook
Finding a Chromebook or MacBook for the budget and performance that I need is difficult, but if you can give me a model name, it would be very helpful.
Would you mainly use the programs at home and watch and present them on the laptop or should the laptop really do everything? It is generally not a bad idea to buy a PC and a somewhat less powerful notebook.
I would like to be able to do everything on the notebook. I also had the idea of buying a PC and additionally buying a notebook, but unfortunately my budget is not sufficient for this and would only make more sense for me when I started my actual job, i.e. After completing my studies.
Hmm, okay. This is difficult because a notebook with really good hardware is a gaming notebook, which means a lot of lighting and not the best battery life and a higher weight. I looked for something here that could be quite good for your programs, because it Has an eight core with 16 threads and the 1660ti is quite decent. Can you look at it. https://www.amazon.de/...088295DCN/
Also has a tb ssd.
Take a look at the Schenker VIA 15 Pro
https://bestware.com/de/schenker-via-15-pro.html
With Ryzen 7 4800H, 8GB RAM and without SSD 890 euro
In addition this RAM, since it is very expensive in the configuration

And e.g. This SSD because it is also extremely expensive in the configurator

Or if you need 2TB

You can find Windows cheap at MMOGA

Another alternative would be the Schenker XMG Core 15
https://bestware.com/de/xmg-core-15-amd.html
With Ryzen 7 4800H, GTX 1650Ti, 8GB RAM, 62Wh battery and without SSD, it costs just under 1100 euro
The same RAM / SSD as already linked for the VIA 15 Pro
The advantage over the VIA 15 Pro is the dedicated graphics card, but the disadvantage is a higher weight and poorer battery life
@ sgt119 Thank you very much! I'll have a look there!
Thank you so much! I'll have a look there! However, I tend to prefer the Lenovo Yoga S740, which is also known as a gaming notebook, but is light, thin and powerful enough to work with CAD programs.
