New Laptop

[DanyMont1505]

Hi, I'd like to see if you can help me choosing a laptop. Im switching from MacOS to Windows because mainly all the apps i'd like to use are only supported there.

I'm looking for a lightweight laptop for gaming and also for CAD as I'm planning to use it while studying Mechatronics. The thinner and good looking the laptop is the better!

Thanks!

Do you have a budget?  
Also Mechatronics is an awesome word.  Sounds like something Rick Hunter from Robotech studied...

I've saved 2500 so far, so anything bellow that should work

That's a good amount.  The XPS15 should have everything you need, but with that much to spend, you have a lot of choices.

Thanks for the help!

I'll suggest workstation laptops like Thinkpad P52, Precision 7530, Zbook 15 G5

something I was looking into for myself is the MSI GS65... Amazing performance and not really screams gaming. just a fancy Black and Gold.  Has a GTX 1070 or 1060 with the amazing 144Hz display. A 6-Core processor  i7 8th Gen 8750H.

 All of this for 2099$ for the 1070 model or 1799$ for the 1060 one
