Laptop Idea

Hello everyone and Happy New Year, 

I am currently in the 2nd year of a BTS in Design and Indrustiallization in Microtechnology. I use Solidworks 2015-2016 when I'm in school, I'm looking for a laptop to work on when I'm in class or at home. My maximum budget is 600€ and I have a lot of trouble knowing if some PCs are worth it ...  
I don't have a preference for brands or anything. 

My use is currently limited to the school setting. We don't work on large assemblies or very advanced parts. I saw on the internet that the RAM of a computer was important and that for my use 4GB was enough. 

I would like to know if you could help me find a computer that could meet my request:) 

I found this PC and I don't know if it can hold up : http://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/ordinateurs-pc-portables/pack-lenovo-pc-portable-z51-70-80k60128fr-offi/f-10709-bun80k60128fr.html#mpos=5|cd

 

Thank you in advance for your answers. 

Kind regards.

Thank you for your answer, 

It's a good pc a bit more expensive than what I'm looking for. On the other hand, it is quite imposing. I'm waiting to see other proposals just in case. 

I thank you all the same for your answer.

Hello, in cheap laptops that work well with solidworks even if they are not workstations look at the MSI brand. In gaming PCs there are nice configurations, on the other hand no video pro but very good FX card

There is this type of material:

 

See on MyCADstore:

@gt22 is this site reliable? Is it refurbished or second-hand?

I'm a bit in the same situation, mine having given up the ghost...

@flegendre must be too much of a dimension. He puts security coefs everywhere!

 

Well, joking aside. To have a good PC that does CAD, I'm afraid you'll have to pay a little more than your budget

The idea of @Gerald with MSI is pretty good but I'm not sure they go below 800€?

In reply @ martvy

Hello

Like gtt22 I confirm that the MIO site is reliable. For having tested it personally, for a pc dedicated to vehicle diag.

The prices are competitive and the pc arrived in great condition and it works perfectly...

Hello

I'm also interested.

@gt22: Is 15" enough for SolidWorks?

Can you inflate the RAM to 4GB more?

 

Thank you

a 17 or + for SW is only better

but nothing prevents you from having an external screen

and for transport it's + light 

Now working on a daily basis with a laptop is not the best without an external screen

I worked well for a while with a 13 inch under SW you have to get used to the small screen

you zoom + often

What you need is a good proc a certified card

for the ram of the must be able to go up to 32 giga 4 sticks of ram possible

possibility of 2 hard drive etc.. It's a beautiful beast

in short pro gear for pro
