Solidworks portable laptop

I am in need of a laptop for a fairly specific workload.  I just can't seem to put all of the pieces together for what I want EVEN IF i am willing to lay down some real cash.

Workload

-simple to complex Solidworks CAD parts and machines.  I do not have Solidworks Simulation.  I will work with assemblies up to the full size cars but not production levels of detail.  I do not need the laptop to do well on the large assemblies.  If it can view and do simple editing at that level I would be happy. 

-Typing

-Occasional Gaming

 

Here is my list in order of priority. some of these are easy, some are not.

CPU-- i7-8750H or better (single thread is the most important by far)

GPU-- Quadro T1000 or better performance in Solidworks.  I am not opposed to RTX 20xx cards

SCREEN-- 4K preferred or 144Hz.  15" prefered but i could be convinced for a 17"

Keyboard-- Must be excellent for long periods of typing. I prefer higher actuation force (I'm used to a Aero 15x)

Ten Key Pad-- Is very important but I can get a Bluetooth one if i have to 

Thunderbolt 3-- If the graphics card isn't enough to handle the big assemblies I will get an EGPU Quadro RTX

Storage-- NVME 1TB or larger.  Dual drive of any kind would be very nice

 

things that are not important to me

Battery life

RGB

webcam

touchpad quality

IO other than Thunderbolt

Fan Noise

Speaker Quality

Ha Ha very funny

Considering the list of things you need, that's about the only portable system that will fit that list.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.
