Architecture Designing Laptop

[realchaos]

My cousin is going to college soon and she needs a laptop that will work really smoothly in architecture programs. She will be making models and photoediting, so I'm assuming she needs an i7 with 16gb of ram, but she wants to keep it under $1000, the cheaper the better. I don't know much about laptops, so that's where you guys come in. She also prefers atleast 15" screen.

Both that i7 and the GPU are worse than the Lenovo for the same price.

This one is much better for the same price,

But would still recommend one of these over that.

If you could splurge and spend the extra $50 it would be best.
