I am going to be studying product design at uni and need a laptop for solidworks and rendering mostly, it does need to be portable so a desktop won’t work.

I was wondering if something like this would run solidworks fine, dell xps 15 with 1050ti 4gb or wether I need to get a Quattro graphics card as found them to be more expensive and bulky whereas I would like a slightly cheaper thinner laptop.

I’m not sure what sort of models I will be making but I don’t think anything too extreme.
 



Looks good but don't really want a 17in
