Hey @zt11
It is really important you get a high performance that is also budget friendly. Here are some specs i would recommend and you should consider:
•
CPU: Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 for strong performance.
•
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 or higher for CAD and simulations.
•
RAM: 16 GB minimum, 32 GB ideal.
•
Storage: 512 GB SSD, with additional 1 TB HDD if needed.
•
Display: 15.6” or 17.3” with 1080p resolution.
•
Operating System: Windows 10/11 Professional.
•
Battery (for laptops): At least 6 hours of life.
