Alright guys I have a friend that needs a computer. He needs to be able to run 3d modeling programs, photoshop, and possibly some other programs of that nature. He would rather a laptop for it to be mobile but that is not needed. I don't know yet if he is willing to build or not. He asked if a mac would be a good idea and i told him no because he wants to keep his price around $800. Also he does not game at all.
Knowing these facts, what specs should i be looking at? system memory is important for this correct? above 8gb? Does an ssd help performance with that? How important is the video card for this and how much vram?

He's going to spend more than 800 for a laptop that's serviceable for 3d modeling. I would imagine anyway

woot had a great Asus ROG laptoop on yesterday for $1000.
there are some workstation laptops available especially designed for AutoCAD etc, but those are going to far exceed the budget. i think hes going to have to find the most mainstream "gaming" laptop and call it a day. Asus and MSI both make good ones.

Sorry for the repost but I didn't get much info on this earlier
