Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
Well it is listed on the SolidWorks website as certified as long as you buy the model with the Nvidia Quadro M620 graphics card. I would recommend going with 16GB of ram (does not add that much cost). I would not anticipate any problems with a 1000 component assembly. Hopefully you plan to use it with an external monitor. The 15.6 display it comes with is small in my opinion.

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
Thanks Solid Air.
My budget wont permit a 7520 so would settle for 3520 version.
I hope the build quality is good...because even though its entry level mobile workstation, here in India it is still costly.
Regarding external monitor i would decide when i start using the laptop for work.

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
If you will use your workstation in office for stationary then it is better to go to the desktop workstation rather than mobile workstation because the performance of a mobile workstation is 40% less compared to the desktop workstation also it has the ability to be upgrade. But if your always in the move then the mobile workstation is a reasonable.

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
because i would mostly be working at client locations so that is why i would be needing a mobile workstation.
yes i know we cannot expect the same performance from a mobile work station.

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
Will mobile workstation will do the job, About the build quality i think it is good because i own a Dell precision M6700 which i buy when i was in college in December 2012 it is already five years and i do not have any problem

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
Saw some reviews of 3520 and it seems the keyboard is quite flexible.which is not a good thing.
-
Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
flexible Hmm i don't think so they are flexible if they are remove to the laptop but if they are much rigid unless your using so much force to press the keyboard i think that review came from a gaming site. Try to inquire for Lenovo thinkpad P50 or HP Zbook 17. or try to search on ebay or amazon.

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
It will be better to consider a SSD version because the HDDs will create problem in the future if you are planning frequent traveling as said. This will give you fast performance compared to HDD. If possible you can plan some Samsung 960EVO 250GB which will cost you appx INR.12500/- or 850EVO for appx 7500. But in any way SSD is preferred for a mobile computer.

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
SSD is very expensive..Would stick with a 500gb hdd.

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
Go with the 16GB of memory. 8GB may work for smaller assemblies but if your assemblies get bigger... And make sure you get the model with the Nvidia Quadro M620 graphics card. The built in graphics is not certified by SolidWorks and will most likely give you visual problems and possible crash issues.

Re: dell 3520 mobile workstation for solidworks?
Will upgrade the memory later,right now will stick with 8 GB.
