Laptop compatibility with Solidworks

Hello,
Can you tell me if this configuration is correct for Solidworks?

MSI CreatorPro X18 HX A14VKSG-024FR

Intel Core i9-14900HX 128GB SSD 4TB (2x 2TB) 18" Mini LED Ultra HD+ 120Hz NVIDIA RTX 3500 ADA 12GB Wi-Fi 7/Bluetooth Webcam Windows 11 Pro

Thank you in advance.

Go to this site and test your configuration according to your version of SW (or the one you want):

The problem is often with the compatibility of the graphics card (if it offers you a driver= compatible)

Hello,
Uh, no, until 2026.

I've had your exact config for more than a year. daily use, large assembly and simulation.
For a portable station it works pretty well!
All the ADA series has been supported properly by SLDW for over a year, otherwise I wouldn't have jumped into the unknown!
Cons:

  • Unsurprisingly: big heavy and little autonomy. (but who cares!)
  • the screen format is confusing at first (16:10) but in the end better suited for CAD than 16:9
  • A real bubbling wind tunnel when you ask a lot of it.
  • a lot of settings at the beginning to unjailbreak windows, the MSI center, and NVIDIA. (technical support and tutorials to accompany easily)
  • I did several performance tests by connecting my secondary screen in HDMI, DISPLAY PORT, USB-C... the results are much better in HDMI because it corresponds to a direct connection to Nvidia. To optimize your purchase, you should therefore consider the HDMI connection.
