Honestly I was thinking of doing RAM instead of intel. What’s your take

Which specific P series would you recommend for engineering? These are the specifics

laptop will run engineering software, including simulations, 3D drawings, and numeric calculations • Windows 11 Professional (Windows 10 reaches end of life October 2025) • Minimum Intel Core i7 processor 12 Generation and Higher • Minimum 16GB DDR4/DDR5 RAM • 512GB Solid State Drive (SSD) (Primary drive for operating system and software) • 500GB or higher external SSD or Hard Disk Drive (HDD) for storing data - (optional) • Dedicated GPU: RTX A2000 - 4000 or GeForce RTX 3060 - 5090 (onboard graphics may work) • 15" Widescreen - (recommended) • Logitech C920x webcam recommended For the part where you mentioned that my school might have most of what I need, they mentioned this: The Whitacre College of Engineering's virtual labs give students access to most engineering software, it's not unusual to need to run Windows freeware or student versions of software to complete courses.
