Laptops for Solid Edge (2024)

Solid Edge, is a very strong contender when it comes to 3D CAD, Solid modelling and Parametric Design. Here, we’ll look at the best laptops for Solid Edge.

So, what should you consider when buying a laptop for Solid Edge? The first thing is the processor.

The laptop you buy, should have both multi core and have high frequency CPU cores. These two factors, determine performance more than any other variable. For that reason, you should get an Intel Core i7 Laptop – minimum. When it comes to the RAM, 16GB or more is ideal. This ensures that you can run several apps and programs at the same time and multi task quite easily.

Speaking of the storage capacity, ideally, the Laptop you select for running Solid Edge should come with an SSD. This can be complimented with a larger capacity HDD.

This ensures that you have both a large capacity and fast storage.  A dedicated graphics card might also help to offset some of the performance from the CPU. In this list of best Solid Edge Laptop recommendations, we’ve ensured that all the laptops listed can comfortably run Sold Edge, now and in the future.
