Would a <=$400 Thinkpad be able for Maya and potentially Zbrush use?
Normally I'd use my desktop for something like this, but due to a retarded university rule, "no desktops allowed".
I know that Intel GPUs may have problems, but if I really need to, I could always set up an eGPU with a card I have leftover.
Go for the t430 with nvidia nvs dGPU, if that doesn't happen to be enough it has an expresscard port too for easy eGPU setup.

This is probably your best bet unfortunately OP
The dedicated graphics card (NVS 5400M) is only about as powerful as modern intel integrated graphics though lmao

I don't think I'm going to need a very powerful GPU, as I'm only planning on practicing with Maya and Zbrush, and don't plan on doing heavy rendering or anything like that.
Anyway, this sounds great. Thanks.
