Laptop brand and model for architecture with these specs.

[BeshoyAdel]

Hello, I need a laptop for architecture (Revit mainly, plus Autocad, 3ds max and photoshop) I've been searching and these are the specs I think I need, but any advice will be valuable:

1- Intel (single core) maybe i5 or i7 cpu (the faster the better).
2- (6 or 8) GB RAM.
3- Nvidia (Quadro) or AMD (FirePro) Cad GPU.
4- SSD will be better.
5- Not a mac but a windows.

Plus I need it to stay with me more than a year 😀 and to endure long work hours (maybe 8 hours a day) and heat is a no no for me, because my previous laptop crashed from heat.

Most importantly I need it to be the cheapest one possible, I don't want to leave any spec yet I am not willing to pay much (yet I don't have a range because I'm from Egypt and costs differ)

Thanks a lot.

Workstations are the best for this type of work. Look into the lenovo w series, hp elitebook, zbook or dell precision.

Yes I see that workstations are better, but they're way out of my financial ability, an HP zbook workstation is worth about 18000 EGP while a normal HP laptop is worth 3000-4000 EGP, I can pay up to 4500 EGP but I didn't write that because I know costs in Egypt and the US differ, 4500 EGP will be about 570$ !

I would look for a second hand lenovo as they should have one with a quadrino card.
