Mobile Workstations

0. Lenovo ThinkPad T490 20RYS01K00 
You want something that’s pro-grade reliable/durable, with but without the pro-grade price tag? 16GB Variant:- Lenovo ThinkPad T490 20RYS07R00
The Lenovo ThinkPad X390 20SCS01H00 is an ultraportable alternative that should be considered if you can forgo the discrete GPU+RAM expansion and need the extra mobility.

1. HP ZBook 15 G6 8LX20PA
   This is a good entry point for somone looking for mobile Quadro graphics. There is an upgraded variant with a slightly faster CPU and more powerful graphics; the 8LX99PA and a highly scalable ultraportable with Radeon Pro graphics:- ZBook 14u G6 Mobile Workstation 8TP08PA.
2. Lenovo Thinkpad P53 Mobile Workstation
   Packs a fast, vPro processor and RTX 3000 professional GPU plus 64GB of RAM, making this our primary recommendation.
3. Acer ConceptD 7 CN715-71
   If your work is more studio oriented however, and revolves around photo/video editing or if you’re confident your CAD workload doesn’t need pro-series graphics, you should be picking one of these instead. The RTX consumer grade GPUs provide plenty of extra grunt but the highlights are the 4k, 400-nit bright, Pantone validated (with a Delta E < 2), 100% Adobe RGB displays that should make short work of colour-sensitive tasks. Pick this higher-spec-version if you need even more performance.
4. Acer Concept D CN515-51
   So you like the direction of the previous picks but don’t need something that high-end? Or perhaps you’d like something more portable? Our pick here features a slightly older but still very capable i7 processor along with Vega Pro graphics. More importantly, it retains the UHD screen of the previous picks, making these unique in this price tier. Here are some alternative variants with somewhat slower processors and reduced RAM, all else being equal:- a) CN515-51(i5/16GB) and b) CN515-51(i5/8GB).
