I'm currently looking for a laptop for study (engineering). I also found a favorite (Yoga X380 - currently on offer). However, I do not know now whether the soldered 8 GB of RAM (so not expandable) for the next 5 years enough to allow CAD programs, multi-tasking and fluid browsing. I would not use the laptop for "gambling" or for photo or video editing.
CAD on a laptop is pretty borderline.
To work with it you need peace and concentration. Do not you ever know that somebody at McDonalds did anything with CAD?
CAD becomes difficult.
In CAD software and multitasking would not go under 12GB of RAM. AutoDesk 8GB already indicates as the lowest limit. At least 4GB on top of it so your "tractor board" especially in multitasking does not run out of steam.
The Yoga X380 is not really suitable for it. In it works only an Intel graphic chip with shared VRAM. That and the non-expandable RAM are already enough, which one can advise against the purchase.
