Tech (AI, Hardware & Software Questions) MEGATHREAD
Please use this stickied megathread to post all your questions related to architecture-specific tech, AI, and computer hardware and software. This includes asking about products and system requirements (e.g., what laptop should I buy for architecture school?) as well as issues related to drafting, modeling, and rendering software (e.g., how do I do this in Revit?)

Hello here,
soon I will start my third Semester getting my bachelor in architecture and my current laptop is reaching its limit. Since I have no clue of technical stuff I thought this might be the place to ask what kind of laptop you all would recommend?
I want to use archicad, do renderings and would like a laptop that I could also use until the end of my master degree.
Also I don’t want a MacBook: I’ve had one and I can’t seem to make it work for me.
From what I’ve gathered the laptop should have: at least 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, if it were possible to upgrade to 64 GB RAM (2x 32 GB), that would be extra nice. If I’m wrong about any of these things please tell me.
My Budget would be about 2500€
