So I just got accepted into an Industrial design program and They told me I need a laptop for the studio work. Looking at laptops, I know I don't need a crazy setup, but I also don't want to shortchange myself. My budget is about 1400. I found a custom setup with the following components.
-CLEVO W670SJQ Core™ i7 Notebook Barebone, Intel® HM86, 17.3" Full HD LED Matte
- NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 850M 2GB
-INTEL Core™ i7-4810MQ Quad-Core 2.8 - 3.8GHz TB,
-INNOVATION COOLING Diamond 7 Carat Thermal Compound, Electrically Non-Conductive
-KINGSTON 16GB (2 x 8GB) PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600MHz SDRAM SODIMM, CL11, 1.35V, Non-ECC
-CRUCIAL 240GB M500 SSD, MLC Marvell 88SS9187, 500/250 MB/s, 2.5-Inch, 7mm w/ 9mm Adapter, SATA 6 Gb/s, Retail
-TOSHIBA 1TB MQ01ABD100 (HDKBB96), 5400-RPM, 8MB cache, 2.5-Inch, SATA 3.0 Gb/s, OEM
-MICROSOFT Windows 8 64-bit Edition, OEM w/ Media
My only real concern is with the graphics card. Will that be good enough to run some of the higher end 3D programs like Autodesk and Solidworks? Also I'm not sure if windows 8 is the best option for design programs.
