Lunix ready battle hardened rugged laptops for industrial use and as a self defense weapon - Search did not reveal discussion so I made thread

[Napoleon Bonerfart]

I have a machine in my basement with deece specs for moderate CAD work (freecad and OpenSCAD) (Ryzen5 2600, 32 gb RAM, GTX 1650.) It unironically runs Lunix. I have a refurb Dell Latitude I use for code and field work (8gb ram, 2nd gen mobile i5, Intel twig and dingleberry GPU.) Latitude suffers physical wear and tear because I use it in industrial settings and touch it inappropriately at night.

I want to become a monogamous Christian and consolidate to a single tradwife workstation. Looking for recommendation on a Lunix ready (meaning out of the box compatibility for the hardware,) battle hardened laptop, like a toughbook, that has better than an onboard Intel GPU and sports a deece amount of ram for CAD work. Cost isn't a problem but ideally around $2000 or less.

That's pretty hardcore, I and all of my associates only ironically run Lunix.

Just join the military and steal one before your tour is over.

That RTX 3000 GPU apparently trashes the GTX 1650 by huge margins. CPU should be a little faster than that Ryzen. Looks like a great price for that build. I don't think it approaches Toughbook levels of durable, but its probably better than most anything else.

Oh shit, that has the OLED panel, too. That is definitely an excellent price.

closest thing to your wants is the getac x500 (gtx 1050 or quadro p2000 + up to 64gb of ram) retail starts at 5000. i don't think you'll find too many used x500s with the gpus tho.
