Laptop for architectural visualisation

[tej1987]

Hey guys I'm looking for a laptop at a reasonable budget to use mainly autocad, photoshop, sketchup & vray, some 3ds max, rhino on. Usually I'll be running a few of these programs simultaneously and have the browser open too. Ideally I'd buy some beast of a machine but that's not an option on my budget. I've liked the look of pc specialist because it offers a 14" laptop (mobility is important, it will be coming with me almost every day), and based on reviews the build quality seems better than competitors at the same price point.

Here's the build I'm considering, I don't know a huge amount about computers so I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Looks good - but if you can stretch a bit further I'd recommend the 128gb SM961 or the 256gb PM961.

M.2 SSD Drive
128GB M.2 2280, SATA 6Gb/s (560MB/R, 467MB/W)

This would be slower than a decent Sata III SSD, while the PM and SM families are faster than any of them.

You could ditch the SSHD to help pay for that. Since your software will be on the SSD anyway.

As for the rest of the spec, you're not going to get much better than a 7700HQ and 1050 ti without spending a lot more.

I'd probably get the £5 warranty upgrade.
