Im looking to buy a laptop, build to run either Autodesk Inventor or Solidworks (most probably the latest version) The laptop is for work purpose only, and I dont mean to use it to render high quality pictures of the constructions. So I called our local supplier and he recommended this setup:
ASUS G771JM-T7019H
Core i7 4710HQ
17.3" FHD Matt
12GB ram (16Gb hvis der er plads)
256GB SSD
Windows 8.1
GTX 860M 2GB
4xUSB 3.0
802.11AC WiDi
He also recommended a docking station:
ASUS USB 3.0 HZ-2 DOCKING STATION
1 x netværk - 10Base-T/100Base-TX - RJ-45
2 x USB 2.0 - 4-PIN USB type A
1 x SuperSpeed USB 3.0 - 9 pin USB Type B
1 x skærm/video - VGA - 15-pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)
1 x lyd - udgang - 3,5 mm mini jack
1 x mikrofon - indgang - 3,5 mm mini jack
2 x SuperSpeed USB 3.0 - 9 pin USB Type A
1 x audio / video - HDMI - 19-pin HDMI type A
My question: Is the laptop build good enough to run either of the two programs, and should I include the docking station in case I got an extra screen, or is it an overkill to include the docking station.
I find it kind of hard to find through the jungle of specs needed to run everything, and find the best solution, so any valid answer is strongly appreciated.
Im sorry most of the hardware is on danish, but I will translate it in case the names of the items isn't enough.
