Hi  
I am just starting to learn SketchUp  
And I’m buying a new laptop for the same  
Which graphics card should I go for  
The ones available in my country are  
Nvidia GTx 1650 or MX 250.  
I’m looking at a 4GB card with 512 SSD.  
i5 or i7.

Thanks

The GTX 1650 gets about 3 times more marks in a benchmark and it has, I understand, about 2.5 times the number of CUDA cores (useful if you use GPU rendering).

Try to get more RAM. 4 Gb won’t get you far. It might be of more influence then the difference between i5 and i7.

8GB RAM  
4GB graphics card.  
Hope that would suffice  
🙂

Ram is cheap. Get 16 gb if you can afford it. 😉

Hi Sean  
Will upgrade it with additional RAM  
Not many options available with 16GB built-in.  
Thanks 🙂
