Is G3779-7927BLK-PUS good for CAD, rendering etc.

I am a student learning architecture,
I came upon this laptop - Dell - 17.3" Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 1TB Hard Drive + 128GB Solid State Drive,
I like the 17inch screen because I am not that much on the move, is this suitable for CAD, do I need more SSD?
Thanks

You do need more than 128GB storage. Software like CAD will fill that in a second.

I would need more than 128GB of SSD, even though I have 1TB HD? How much SSD do I need?

I would not get a system with less than 240GB SSD today. Prices are low enough that having just 128GB just requires too much oversight to ensure you don't run out.

laptop are nice but if your cash poor student a desktop would last longer and for the same or less money you can have a good cad rig.
