      I draw manufacturing and quality equipment in CAD for a living….I also spec/build all the higher end computers non typical office computers for the business I work for.

      I despise windows based laptops. They never last. I have several floating around work with 4xxx series graphics cards and high end CPUs. All they are good for is making heat and throttling while your trying work on a project.

        My experience has been the opposite, I bought from a relatively niche brand with no customer support to speak of, cyberpowerpc, and three years later my laptop, 2070S max-P and 10875H, is running great. 78% battery health with good idle and stress thermals.

        Do you think your “qualifications” grant your opinion any weight? Lol.

        I use all that shit too and my windows laptop has literally zero problems.

        40gb ram. 3070.

        Easy mode.

        At least you can run CAD software on windows natively. On Mac you need a virtual machine or remote desktop.

          No doubt.

          My beef is with trying to use a laptop for extremely resource intensive programs that just cause massive heat, thermal throttling, and delay work getting done at an acceptable rate not with windows or laptops for doing your taxes.
