Hi,

I have to buy a new laptop for my university and I have no idea what is going on with all the graphic cards.

I have found a few options but I can't figure out if the graphics cards are similar, which one is better, or worse.

One is the Intel® HD Graphics 520 (with 512 SSD)
One is the NVIDIA GeForce 930M (with 256 or 512 SSD)
one is the NVIDIA GeForce 820m (with 1TB SSD)


I have a list with recommendation from my professor, and this is what was in the email:

8 RAM
+- 320 GIGs SSD
64bit computer
Graphics similar to 2gb

I'll be using it for Solidworks, 3Dmax, and probably Adobe programs(photoshop/InDesign)

If you have ideas for laptops, please do give me the options. Seeing I have to carry it around with me everywhere a not to heavy laptop will be brilliant. Budgetwise, jsut go with good laptops and i'll see where my budget will reach its end haha.

Thankyouso much :)

For the programs your going to be using, I would suggest getting the most powerful processor you can and then the best GPU to go with it that fits your budget. I would also look at getting 16 GB's of RAM rather than 8. An Intel i7 paired with a GTX 960m or higher would be ideal. Notebookcheckreview is a good source for reviews and benchmark comparisons.
