New windows 11 laptop?

[TLD1948]

I’ve been using Mac since mid '90’s but it seems it would make sense to but another Windows based laptop to use for my new Crossfire XR. I haven’t touched a Windows based computer since the late '90’s so am way out of touch. Brand, memory size, etc. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I want to start with sheet cam and downloading existing DXF files, but will eventually work my way into Fusion 360. Thanks. Terry

Computer suggestion

This is a totally normal reaction. In my world Apple product don’t exist and its awesome. Started with just garbage windows 7 lappy that I upgraded to windows 8 and jammed some cheap used ram into it. It worked, I learned Fusion on it and ran the Crossfire Pro. Now I have my design work station in the office. which is basically a gaming pc I bought in 2021. 64GB RAM, i5-10600K CPU (this I may upgrade to the largest Socket Type LGA 1200 chip that will fit my motherboard) 15 TB harddisks ,…

I bought a new laptop for my XR instead of using the mini PC that comes with it. check out the link.

and this link has a link to a newegg search which searches the gaming laptops by price

Optimal Computer for Crossfire

I added filters to only display in stock items and the higher-end Intel processors with fast single threading capabilities. Here’s the US version of the search https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?Submit=ENE&pageTitle=Gaming+Desktop+PC&N=100897450+4131+601424579+601438951 And here’s the Canadian version of the search These search filters will only be good till Intel releases some new processor…

Since I’ve never been a “gamer” (other than sitting down with the neighborhood kids for a game of Monopoly in the '50’s) I was wondering what that gaming specific computer you bought offers to your design work on the Crossfire that a Costco laptop? Sorry to sound ignorant, but again, I’m from a different era (sometimes it feels like a different planet). Thanks for helping this old guy along on this new journey.
