I am starting my engineering degree next year and they are requiring us to get a pretty beefed up laptop.

I am looking to make this a desktop replacement (yes, i also want to be able to game on it. I also have an HTC Vive which i would like to use.)
I was looking around and saw that origin had some really nice laptops specifically the
NS-15 (AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-Core 3.1GHz and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 Max-P)
NT-15 Quadro (Intel Core i7 9750H 6-Core 2.6GHz and NVIDIA Quadro P4200 8GB GDDR5 Max-Q)
I was wondering how important spending the extra money for the Quadro option would be for the types of use cases in engineering? modeling, rendering, and simulations? The NT-15 Quadro also doesnt have the Ryzen option so how important is the extra CPU horsepower for those applications? Any other suggestions besides the Origin laptop?
Thanks in advance
