Hi everyone! 🙂
I'm a fourth year architect student in Hungary. I need a new laptop but extremely lost. I tried reading the subreddit's discussions about laptops but I'm still confused. Please help!
My current laptop is ASUS Vivobook S15 S530. It crashes when I use Archicad and do rendering and is basically super slow.

Its properties:
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U (1.60 GHz) (6M Cache, up to 3.9 GHz, 4 cores)
- GPU: NIVIDIA GeForce MX150
- Memory: 8 GB
- 1 TB storage
I'm looking for az upgrade. I mostly use Archicad, Sketchup, Photoshop and Indesign and sometimes do rendering.
My (i guess very little) expectations:
- CPU: Intel i5 or i7 or Ryzen 5 or 7 (I think these are within my budget)
- GPU: would be good if I can get an NVIDIA
- Memory: at least 16 GB
- Storage: at least 512 GB
My budget is $1000 (400 000 Ft).
Could you recommend me some models or even good CPUs or GPUs? Which aspects should I focus on? Which models/CPUs/GPUs should I avoid?
Thanks for the help!!
