Got a 13 inch as well but i assume you're gonna want at least 15 inch for your kind of work.
(This is a Canadian link, if you're a red white and blue bald eagle person then just google dell xps 17/15)
Again. quite expensive. Got a RTX 4060 and an i7 13700H all in a super tight form factor.
But as you said, dont mind cost.

Hey all,

I need a windows machine that I can CAD on (3D model) and run some iterative solvers (programming). I currently have a Mac, so I am looking for something similar to Mac build quality. I do not mind the cost 

Any recommendations?
