If you are wondering to buy a laptop for Solidworks to do modeling, drawing, and simulations so you need a laptop bearing features like:
1. Multicore (to allow multitasking)
2. High Clock Frequency (to calculate speedily)
3. Big RAM (for handling larger assembly while modeling)
4. Good GPU (should be compatible with future versions of Solidworks software)
5. WorkStation card certified and tested by the SolidWorks
6. SSD laptop (for faster data retrieval)
7. RAID1 configuration (so that battery is not lost suddenly)
8. Quality Screen
Keeping the above features in mind I have made a list of Best Laptops for SolidWorks. The budget lies between $ to $. Hope you would enjoy yourself with the details of these amazing gadgets for Solidworks until the very end of my post:
Lenovo ThinkPad P50:
The first laptop we are going to discuss is manufactured by Lenovo that is a very known company for designing, developing, manufacturing and selling a variety of gadgets from smartphones to personal computers and televisions. The Lenovo ThinkPad P50 is a series of ThinkPad. The laptop withholds a weight of 8.85 pounds which is much but its functionality gives compensation. The shining black surface gives the laptop a very elegant look.
The 2.5GHz Core i7 6700HQ processor of Lenovo ThinkPad P50 makes it ideal for multitasking like multi-sheet drawing in Solidwork. The 8 GB DDR4 SDRAM provides ease to the users in handling large assembly while modeling. The GPU holds a very important position while choosing a laptop for solidwork as it is irreplaceable. But the Lenovo ThinkPad P50 has an Nvidia Quadro M2000M 4GB GDDR5 GPU which does not create slowdown or crashing issues while working on Solidworks, so that you can work without worrying about the GPU till the laptop itself lives.
The battery is lithium polymer batteries and lasted for 8 hours and 25 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test.
MSI WE72 7RJ-1032US:
The MSI WE72 7RJ-1032US is manufactured by the MSI(Micro-Star International), a Taiwanese multinational information technology corporation, who designs, develops and provides computer hardware, related products, and services.

You can add up to 3 monitors with it. The keyboard is quite comfortable and the RGB-backlighting makes it more cool. The 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor makes it really fast in calculations and multitasking. The NVIDIA Quadro M2200 4GB DDR5 GPU is quite good. The Flash Memory Solid State hard drive of 512MB provides a superb storage facility. There is an Optical Drive Type (DVD+RW). The strong speakers are the specialty of MSI WE72 7RJ-1032US.
The Lithium Polymer Batteries used in the laptop only lasted for 2 hours and 50 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test.
