the price can be reduced by lowering the ram to 8GB 

and the processor cadence 4.8 in turbo (but 1.8 in std ....)

but 1300€  is short for a portable station

You would have to know what kind of work you are going to have to do on this machine.
In order of magnitude, a real portable station (screen and graphics card worthy of the name) capable of supporting a strong 3D model, it's more like 2-3k€ that you have to count.

I found it as a condition so I don't really understand that nothing is okay thank you for your answers 

Before you install SOLIDWORKS Visualize and SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost, you must have the following prerequisites for each computer :
  • A SOLIDWORKS Visualize serial number
  • A SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost serial number
Each computer running SOLIDWORKS Visualize or SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost must meet the following requirements:
  • Windows® 7 or higher (64-bit )
  • Dual-core processor; quadruple core recommended
  •  8 GB RAM ; 16 GB recommended
  •  2 GB of disk space;  5 GB recommended
  •  2 GB or more of graphics card RAM;  4 GB recommended
  • NVIDIA® graphics card: NVIDIA Quadro®/NVIDIA GeForce®/Tesla™ with at least one NVIDIA Kepler™ chip; Dual GPU configuration with at least NVIDIA Maxwell™ cards for the best experience
  • NVIDIA driver version 385.41 (or later) recommended

  • Connecting HDR Light Studio HDR Light Studio v5.3.3 or later, except v5.4

Your configs seem a bit tight to me, it depends on what you do with them.

Hello

It really depends on the type of parts and assemblies created and handled...

I run with a Dell Latitude 5580 intel core i7 7820HQ at 2.9 Ghz, 16 GB Ram and an integrated intel 630 graphics card ... but I never do surface, I have assemblies of 600 to 800 parts maximum... To spice things up a bit, I work under Epdm and often telecommuting (by VPN) ... And I never have any problems. On the other hand, it is set up with great care...

Kind regards
