Going to follow.
This is the budget I started on (£600) and it's slowly crept up and down. Wanting a laptop for same reasons, CAD work, but not sure on level as going back to college.
Not sure if going quadro is worth it, most are only m/p1000s. A few 1060s can be had for £700, just don't know if CAD cards are worth it over consumer.
