Is the ThinkPad P17 Gen 2 Intel sufficient for architecture modeling and rendering?
Hello.
I am an architect seeking to purchase a new laptop for professional use. I’ve been struggling to find the appropriate specifications, which is why I’m reaching out for your assistance.
My work involves various software that demand specific technical requirements: 3D modeling tools such as Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, 3dsMax and Revit; rendering engines like Vray, Lumion and Photshops; and I can handle both small and large projects with parametric designs.
It seems the best workstations would suit my needs. My budget is approximately 2500 CAD, and I found an interesting model: ThinkPad P17 Gen 2 Intel (17") - Mobile Workstation.

Could you share your thoughts on this option?
Thank you for your support.
It's fine, all of the systems in that price range have about the same specs, and Lenovo is one of the better built ones.
