Hello! I just visited seven different tech subreddits to try to post this question, and laptop hardware recommendations were against the rules in all seven of them, so if this is still not the correct place, can you direct me to a better community?

With that out of the way, I am trying to purchase the Legion Pro 5i Gen 10 for first year Mechatronics, and while I am very proficient with anything software related, I don't really know much about specific cards and their performance. This model that I am looking at has the following options:

Processor

Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255HX Processor
Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX Processor

Graphic Card

NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR7
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR7

I have chosen to upgrade to 32GB of RAM for that necessary speed.

Does anyone here have any advice? Thanks.

Edit:

Found my school uses Fusion 360, not Solidworks, so I changed the title

The Ultra 7 and the RTX 5060 shouldn't have any trouble with those workloads. Solidworks still have the Nvidia RTX 1000 Ada Generation with 6GB GDDR6 and the Nvidia T500 with 4GB GDDR5 as supported cards.
