Hi All,
I’m new to the forum and came across the Sketchup and Enscape software. I am on track to be a new interior designer and I am looking to purchase a laptop for work purposes. I have shortlisted 3 models based on my available budget however, I’m quite torn because I’m uncertain on which would be a better choice.
Some background information on usage
I intend to use Sketchup + Enscape for 3D modelling to provide clients with better visuals at the beginning phase of projects however, I don’t foresee doing that for every single client I take up as the firm I’m joining does have a dedicated 3D designer. I’ll probably be using AutoCAD and Sketchup more often and may not end up rendering the models with Enscape but I felt like maybe it’ll still be handy.
The 3 laptops I have shortlisted are as follows:
1. TUF Gaming A15 FA507NVR-LP049W
Processor: AMD Ryzen™️ 7 7435HS Mobile Processor 3.1GHz (20MB Cache, up to 4.5 GHz, 8 cores, 16 Threads)

GPU: NVIDIA®️ GeForce RTX™️ 4060 8GB GDDR6
RAM: 16GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM (1 X 16GB)

2. Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 | 83JC00A0SB
Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 7 7435HS (8C / 16T, 3.1 / 4.5GHz, 4MB L2 / 16MB L3)

GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060 8GB GDDR6, Boost Clock 2370MHz, TGP 105W
RAM: 24GB(2x 12GB SO-DIMM DDR5-4800)

3. HP Victus Gaming Laptop | 15-fa1324TX

RAM: 16 GB DDR4-3200 MHz RAM (2 x 8 GB)

I’m unsure if there’s anything else that needs to be taken into consideration and greatly appreciate any inputs that will be received.
Thank you for reading my post!
