Dream laptop

ThinkPad P16 if mostly on desk, P1 gen 8 if you need a bit more portability. Desktop if it doesn't need to be a laptop, much more power for your money.

2 SolidWorks users on one RTX 2000 Ada – can a single GPU realistically be shared?

There is no good way to handle this why not buy a cheaper / older gpu. You’re going to lose more time on money, support and licenses to run all of this then actually buying a 2nd machine. I would just buy a ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (16” Intel) Mobile Workstation something like that

Buying Advice: ThinkPad for AI / Cybersecurity Studies

If portability doesn’t matter and performance + quiet operation are the priority, the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 or 3 is the best ThinkPad you can buy.

I think the X series are also typically pretty good as well. Would at least get the 14 inch scr

Men den koster så også lidt, og måske lidt bulky til studiebrug. Ved ikke lige hvordan Revit kører på Mac, men ha
