Speaking to a guy today he has been working with the Solidworks online training. I need to inform I am using SharkCad. Really interesting he said that Solidworks, only uses one core in a CPU loading it up. So when choosing a good PC for Solidworks, looking for a CPU with heaps of cores is not to advantage at all.

I popped a laptop a few weeks ago and am getting some cash back (refund). I have been looking around at the latest gaming laptops. RTX30** series graphics, Gen 4 7gb/sec SSD, Dual ram, the full deal.

But - after the conversation about Solidworks and the CPU I dont know what I am looking for to be best for my money now? Any computer pros out here that could shed some light on what I should do? Intel? Ryzen? Latest CPU with minimum cores?

Thanks
