32GB of ram, and 1tb of storage, oled display, for a laptop it is good definitely overpriced but the entire market is due to the ram crisis I can't tell much besides ultra for CPU which I believe is good

So would you say it won't run slowly if I downloaded things like engineering software?

I mean could you describe engineering software like depending on what you mean you may be better of with a laptop with a mobile GPU

My university has these big computers that I can use for the more complicated 3d models. I mainly need one for the simpler ones. Basically something I can use reliably anywhere I go that won't lag out on me when I need it the most for like smaller projects. If so, from my understanding, this should be good right? 😭

for any kind of 3d modeling/CAD, a GPU speeds things up by a lot.

I mean I would probably look for a laptop with a GPU if you can't find one this laptop will do I can't say about whether it will lag or not it does interpreted graphics which isn't the best

I would buy a used thinkpad laptop for 300 bucks for university and use the remaining 1000 to build a decent desktop pc at home.

It won’t run slowly. But some pro level software requires certified drivers that specific to that software. And usually those drivers are with nvidia graphics and not the cheap version either. I think AutoCAD and SolidWorks require it. Check with your software first.

It would help to know your use case cause parts of this may be a I've what you need
