For my work I would need powerful laptop and if possible for a few years  ahead. I am not found of any brand I currently use HP Zbook 17inch i7-8750H, 16GB RAM,

I currently have a Dell Precision 7760 which does everything I need to do from a workstation grade laptop. Maybe that line of laptops would be ideal given you want a 17inch screen.

What are you doing in solidworks? Large complex assemblies or basic parts require different specs 

[jaslion]

It can go all the way from a legion 5 or 7 17 inch to a hp zbook, dell precision,... but we need more information as solidworks is a very varied worksuite and depending on the level of complexity it will massively vary for what laptop is needed.

 

Either way for gaming a simple legion 5 17 inch with a 5800h + 16gb ram + 3060 will more than do.

If you can wait for like 3 months there may be alder lake laptops tanking anything you buy know

It’s not the file size it’s the complexity of the models.
