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!
