SOLIDWORKS Design & Help

Created by Angel Ramirez on 9 March, 2018

Hello, I'm planning on purchasing a new laptop for school as well as something I can use for SolidWorks and other programs. I'm stuck between a Dell and a couple Lenovo computers. Would someone be able to give input on the specifications below. I'm trying to make a purchase that gives me optimal performance given the cost. Thank you.
