Will the new HP Spectre x360 with i7-5500U, Intel HD Graphics 5500, 8 GB Ram, and 256 GB SSD be suitable for Electrical Engineering? Specifically running CAD, solidworks, and metlab?

Should I look at a laptop with i7 quad core, dedicated graphics such as the HP Envy 15t Slim Quad with i7-4722HQ, 4 GB dedicated graphics, 12 GB Ram, and 1 TB Hybrid hard drive?
It’s getting harder and harder to buy a crappy laptop. any of these laptop will handle your prgogram just fine.
oviously, HP envy will be better then x360, but if yout are thinking about carrying it, you might consider the weight, Screen resolution ( this is a big deal ) and keyboard feel.
don’t pay msrp for Hp. search deal site and you will find plenty of deals on dell, hp, etc.
@MIN16QAKJ Thank you! What about the hybrid hard drive of the envy? Is it that much worse than ssd? That’s my only concern
you can always swap it out for ssd. later on. ssd is getting cheaper and cheper everyday anyway.
hybrid drives are not bad. but Pure SSD is prefered.
