Laptop recommendation (Dell or Lenovo)

Dear all,

I need help from you experts. I'm from Thailand. Currently, I’ve been advised by IE Thailand Software (vendors) that the model below (Dell Inspiron) is suitable for using the software, but they don’t sell them here in Thailand. Do you guys have any other recommendations for laptop (Preferably Dell or Lenovo)?

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.2/Reference/SystemRequirements/SystemRequirements.html

Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7630
CPU : Intel Core i7-13700H
GPU : Intel Iris Xe + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
RAM : 32GB DDR5 Bus 4800MHz
STORAGE : SSD M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4 1TB

I’ve been researching, most Dell Precision workstations laptop has a graphic card RTX A2000 Ada 8Gb (PassMark score: 10,940, which is lower than recommended specs) and it already cost more than $3,000 for Precision model.

I was hoping that you guys could help me out, our budget per laptop is around $3,000. Either Precision workstation laptop or Inspiron consumer grade is fine (Most of Inpsiron aren’t available to purchase in Thailand)

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.2.1

RTX A is a series of professionell quadro cards. Simple consumer gaming graphic cards work, too. A RTX A 2000 is equal to a RTX 3060. You will see, that consumer cards are often much cheaper than professionell cards.

Ohh, I understand now, how come professional cards are much more expensive than consumer? Does it have to do with workload and such?

So, Does this means RTX A3000 = RTX 4060?

Please look for mobile graphic card benchmark sites like: this here. Often you find articles of cards on those sites, which compares efficiency to consumer cards. You can also look for articles of computer magazines to estimates efficiency progress from previous to newest chip series. Roughly a progress of 50% feels like an real noticeable improvement. Sometimes it is more important to compare chip features rather than efficiency alone.
