Hello!

I am currently in university (engineering) and I am looking for a laptop. I need it for CAD and photo editing in Photoshop.

I was wondering if it's worth buying a workstation laptop from 2012-2013 (like a Thinkpad, EliteBook etc.). Would it run well the software I need for at least for 2-3 years?

I found some in my country for 250-350$. 

Here are some spec examples:

  • HP ZBook: i7-4900mq, quadro k1100m, 16gb ddr3 ram, 256gb ssd for almost 400$
  • HP Elitebook: i7-3820qm, quadro k3000m, 8gb ddr3 ram, 240gb ssd for almost 400$
  • Thinkpad W530: i7-3740qm, quadro k1000m, 16gb ddr3 ram, 128gb ssd for under 300$

P.S. I also have a decent PC at home, the laptop would be used at school and when traveling.
