Laptop for rendering and 3d modeling?

[Aae147]

will be using softwares such as Autocad, 3ds Max, Revit and Photoshop.

Specs: i7, 2.6GHz or more, hybrid drive with at least 128 SSD, RAM of 16GB and a screen not less than 15"

My budget is 1700-1800$, I will be using this laptop for at least 2 years. I want a fast, durable laptop that can just do the work with efficiency.

I'm a Mac user (and fan), but I want a windows-based laptop.

I'm not a brand expert but most people recommend ASUS, Alienware or MSi. Thoughts??

This MSI GS70 comes with a very powerful quad-core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, a separate 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD (hybrid drives, or SSHDs have very small SSD caches that only range from 8-32GB, so your specification may not be attainable), and a tremendously powerful GTX 970M graphics card. All of your requirements are accomplished by this.

I would look at the asus rog series (g or gl if you want a light laptop), msi ge series, auros v series if it is within your budget, or a barebone laptop like clevo.
