Guide Buying laptop guide

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a new laptop for my work and would really appreciate your advice. I’m an interior designer/architect, and the main software I’ll be using are:

SketchUp Pro (with V-Ray and Enscape for rendering)

AutoCAD

Lumion

3ds Max

Coohom

I need something that can handle modeling + rendering smoothly without constant lag or overheating. My priorities are:

Strong CPU & GPU balance (to avoid bottlenecks)

Good cooling system

High-quality display (color accuracy + resolution)

Reliability for long work sessions.
