I appreciate the recommendations. The work I will be doing with this requires a significant amount more general “computing power” than just drafting. Once I moved on to point clouds and NURBs my purpose built laptop started to lag behind. Since I am planning on using the computer for business, I need it to be above the minimum requirements of each of the programs.
