School laptop for CAD/3D

[Michael_433]

Hey there!

I am looking for a laptop for my sister. She turns 16 and attends a school for architecture. So she will be using CAD Programs and some other 3D software. So now my question: do these programs profit of multi threading(i7?) or is a good external GPU more important(960/70m?)?

And if u have some good suggestion another important point is that it will need to be handy so she can carry it to school and back easily(light,reasonable sized).

PS: Bugget is around 800€

You will want a i7 not one of the low voltage ones, and a good dedicated gpu. So yes a 960 or 970m would be enough
