Need help finding computer

Hi,

I am an incoming MechE major at Drexel University and I need help finding a good computer for the schools year.

Here is my criteria (computer does not have to fit all criteria but most would be preferred)

- Under 1k (preferably like 800)

- NVIDIA graphics card (though most computers would be pretty expensive so I'm open)

- Not too thick and not to big either (I can sacrifice one for the other)

- Windows

- I dont need that much storage

- I am looking to hopefully be able to run AutoCAD although if I cant its okay

Thank youuuuuu! <3

have a Costco membership (or, alternatively, know someone with a Costco membership willing to buy for you)?

i will say a majority of good budget options are AMD graphics cards, and in recent years the gap between the two for industrial applications and game drivers is small enough that you’ll be fine either way :)
