What do I buy for studying Architecture (laptop)

I am looking to buy a PC laptop and am probably going to buy a gaming one, idk if that's the best option for architecture. atm I am thinking of getting the Legion pro5i by Lenovo as all of it's specs suit what the uni told us we'd need:
Processor: Core i7 or Core i9 11th gen or better, 2.4ghtz min speed
Storage: 500GB SSD min 1TB recommended
RAM 16 GB min, 32 GB recommended
4GB dedicated graphics card minimum, avoid discrete or shared memory
13 inch Screen minimum, 14 inch or 15 inch recommended
I'm just unsure because they also told us we'd need a monitor (24 inch) with it, which I didn't know you'd need for architecture. Idk much about computers so how do I know how to get the right monitor and wouldn't it need a keyboard? I was also wondering whether £1,755 is an ok price just for the lenovo?
Any advice would be great thanks

One slightly odd quirk of those requirements is "avoid discreet or shared memory", as those are literally the two options- discreet memory is what you get in a dedicated GPU, shared memory is what's used by integrated GPUs. It's an option with discreet memory that you explicitly do want.
The "right" monitor is fairly open question but I can provide a few options. As for a keyboard, you can either use the one built into the laptop, or get a separate one to make things a bit more ergonomic.
What's the exact spec sheet for the Lenovo model you're considering at that price? And if you can provide a total overall budget for everything you want to buy, I can provide a list of options that in would personally pick for the overall setup.

thanks for explaining the memory thing btw
the lenovo spec is:
14th generation
32GB RAM
1 tb storage
16"
8GB graphic card
also I'm pretty sure it has discrete memory
I'd also been looking at the dell XPS15 (11th gen,8GB graphics, 32gb ram, 1tb, 16 inch) for £1477.79
and asus tuf a15 (8gb graphics, 15.6 inch, 32gb max ram, 1tb, i7 core) for £1199.99
also idk if there's a difference for when they say 32GB or if they say min 15GB to max 32GB. Is it the same thing?
for everything overall I'd probably hope for around 1500 but i could go up to 2000 give or take either way (for the PC, monitor, mouse and everything I'd need). Obviously the cheaper the better
thank you very much

Do you know the specific processors/graphics cards of each model?

If the cheaper the better you could:
Buy something like a used Dell Precision 7760 (with a graphics card) for about £700 off ebay. These are proper architecture mobile workstations, with proper over the top engineering. Be aware of the size and weight of such tank-like laptops.
Or you could put together a custom self built (or built by a friend) desktop PC for about £1000 depending on options, which you supplement with a 14" used premium business general purpose laptop (for under £200).
Look out for c£100 deals on large (like 32") used 4k monitors on ebay.
And look out for deals on used Wacom type architecture drawing tablets.
You should be able to get a new ergonomic mouse for about £20 from Facebook Marketplace or ebay.
