Hi, 

I'm looking for a "budget" laptop which I need for working in Autodesk softwares like Infraworks, Civil3D, Naviswork and similar BIM oriented softwares.

Hope you will help me. :)

Maximum 1250$

That's a healthy budget. Is this going to be your only pc and will it need to he rendering for long periods?

 

Do you have to jump on the thin and light bandwagon?

 

Brand preferences? Gaming? Rgb?

Well, it will be rendering for not so long periods. Brands: I have good experience with Asus but others also can be considered. I'm watching Acer Predator Helios 300 with nVidia GTX 1060 6GB but I'm not sure how that graphic performs in Autodesk softwares.

Weight and battery life are not so important for me. I don't have links of any online stores, I'm watching just on Amazon.com currently

One question, does your workload benefit from Quadro GPU?

Which one is better:

Dell Precision 5530 & Dell Precision 7530 & Lenovo ThinkPad P52 & MSI WE63 8SI?

Every one has pretty similar configuration.
