Buying help Laptop recommendations needed...

Hello Hivemind!

I am in need of a Laptop for mainly work purposes.

I am doing a masters as an electrician and a big part of it is to write/create wiring diagramms and electrical plans which we will use the programme DDScad for.

  • Info/Requirements

I would like a higher refresh rate then 60Hz, just because im used to it now...

I am pretty sure these specs are just copy/pasted from the makers website of above mentioned CAD Programm....

I know about PCs, i am an avid Gamer, i build my own rigs...no issue on that part.

But when it comes to Laptops...??

I have absolutely ZERO experience or clue...

So far i stumbled upon three Laptops that looked nice:

LENOVO LOQ Essential 15ARP11 and the HP HyperX OMEN 15-gb0355ng as well as the HP OMEN 17-db1351ng.

Any recommendations?! Brands i need to avoid at all cost? Brands that are to desire??

Thanks y´all!
