I will start my university course in September and I will need a proper laptop to work with when I’m in school and on the run.

I need some help as hardware is not what I am good at.

I work with Zbrush, UE5, blender and at times I will use texturing tools such as substance painter and of course Photoshop.

I will work with rather large files, so I’d really want some guidance here.

I guess I don’t want to upgrade it anytime soon, however, my teacher said these minimum recommendations just for reference:

RTX 2060
16 GB ram
15-17’’ screen.

These seem far too low for me though… can anyone give me some insight?

It will be strictly for CREATING and DEVELOPMENT. Not for gaming.

It'll definitely last you for a long time.

There's no point in my entire lifetime I would buy a mac for UE5 development

I have a macbook, and a station PC, however. I need a windows PC laptop!

Then it's the Dell XPS 15 OLED, can't beat the 3050 Ti discrete.
