Not sure if I posted this in the right area... I searched the forums and couldn't find anything to fit better.

Hi,

I am a mechanical engineering student in need of a inexpensive workstation which can run solidworks, fusion 360, etc. I am considering purchasing a p53s levono laptop with a 1.8 GHz quad core processor but I am worried this will not be adequate to run these programs smoothly.

 

Here's my specs, analyze and criticize if you'd like, I hope this a good choice. I'm slightly nervous after spending this amount of money and ending up with a computer that won't get the job done.

 

Thanks for any input!
