Hey! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look at the Legion line. I like that the styling is a little more subdued even though they're "gaming" laptops

Preferred max weight of approx 4.5lbs, but if I have to go over, not the end of the world. Battery life of around 8 hours, don't need anything crazy. Definitely don't need a Quadro. Have one at home for heavy load stuff. Just need some kind of dedicated graphics for light load work. Having the option to upgrade RAM would be preferable, not a deal breaker. Low sRGB display isn't optimal, but also not the end of the world. Whatever is considered averageid-tier laptop acceptable display will do me just fine.

Hey everyone, I am starting an architectural drafting program in the fall and need a new laptop. I'm hoping to not spend more than $1500CAD, and will be purchasing it in Canada. I'm looking for a laptop that will be my daily driver during school. I will need it to be capable of doing light CAD and BIM work (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.) however heavier workloads will happen on my desktop at home. I like the 2-in-1 form factor, but know it's most likely outside of my budget. I'm definitely looking for the best value per dollar. Decent battery life is important, but it doesn't need to be crazy. Just enough to reasonably get me through a school day. I do commute by bike fairly often, so something relatively lightweight would be nice. I don't really care about it's gaming performance, my desktop at home fills those needs. It will be my daily driver, so a nice keyboard and touch pad would be appreciated. I'm hoping to find something that isn't a gaming laptop, or at least doesn't look like one. I'm not a fan of the styling of most gaming laptops. I'm hoping this laptop will last me a good couple years, so I want to make sure I enjoy using it, and looking at it. It's been years since I've even thought about purchasing a laptop, so any advice would be appreciated! Just looking for the best value!
