So I'm wanting to run CAD programs and possibly steam games.

It ain't a macbook

>consumer Lenovo

Why

>>58170531
Fuck Mac dude lol
>>58170538
We have lenovo computers at work and they work pretty well

>>58170571
note I said
>CONSUMER

>>58170517
Seems like a fine computer

>>58170578
I'm not understanding lol

It's fine. Ignore trolls. Seems great.

>and possibly steam games

Holy shit, can you people survive without needing to play a fucking video game every hour?

>>58170599
Thanks man also Checked!

>>58170589
>not commercial/business class

>>58170615
Ah I see! It's for school, won't be designing power plants with it lol

>>58170517
It's fucking shit

Stop asking for advice after you already bought something people.

>>58170606
I probably could by why risk it?

>>58170640
>>58170641
Troll Out! Lol

>>58170669
no u :ˆ)

>>58171136
You have a stupid nose.

Yeah, that should work for CAD and steam games that are not very intensive.

The difference between consumer grade and business grade is that you get better build quality when you go for business models. You're idiot if you need this to be spelled out for you.

Promptly kill yourself at your nearest convenience.

>dual core
>940m
>wanting to do cad and videogames
Is this a troll thread?

>dual core i7

What's the fucking point?

Guys I havnt used a computer regularly in over 4 years, and even then I had just an ok understanding of what's in them. Now I know this is the internet so 9 out of 10 people have to be complete dickholes, but give me a break here people.

You really don't know where you are, do you?

Install gentoo on a pre-chink Thinkpad, get some PortaPros, and celebrate New Years with your waifu.

>>58170571
You fucked up kid. It ain't a macbook.

>>58171708
This. And it's fucking 4k

>>58170517
>cad

You could do CAD back in the days of DOS, a 486 and 8MB of RAM.

So yeah, a computer with 16GB of RAM and a bunch of giggle-hurts is probably going to be "enough" to run a CAD program.

What software package are you going to be using?

inb4 "Autocad"

>>58170517
If you're serious about CAD, buy a mobile workstation with a workstation GPU.

Yes, workstation GPUs are practically the same as consumer GPUs, but the drivers are optimized for CAD applications, and workstation drivers have "optimizations" for workstation GPUs (read: drivers are gimped on consumer GPUs), and it's difficult these days to cross-flash firmware.

That sounds sick op hope it works out and doesn't have a glossy screen

>Consumer-grade shit

rly m8?

Autism is an overused meme in here, honestly.

Any time I have ever gotten a laptop with a discrete graphics chip I have regretted it, because actually using that graphics chip means your computer turns into a wind turbine that burns your crotch.

Depends on your needs, if you are doing low tier CAD like architecture you will be fine with that. If you doing mid tier CAD with ~30 part assemblies with programs like CATIA or SW you will regret it at some points but will be fine day to day. If you are doing high tier CAD work in programs like SW or CATIA with 50+ part assemblies, complex surfaces and simulations you will want to kill yourself.

Autocad and Microstation

>>58172479
It's architecture type work

It's not meant to play a grand strategy game on those
t. playing EU4 on a toshiba with integrated graphics right now
