U225X PUBLIC SUMMARY
Record: SYS-SOLIDWORKS-0411 / Workstation Recommendations
Status: Recovered / Needs retest

SUMMARY
The decision is about matching a computer to model size, assembly complexity, mobility, and sustained CAD use. Prioritize fast sustained CPU performance, adequate memory, cooling, and a stable graphics viewport instead of treating gaming specifications as a complete CAD answer.

STARTING POINT
- 32 GB RAM is more comfortable than a basic 16 GB configuration.
- Larger assemblies or sustained work may justify 64 GB or more.
- A dedicated GPU and stable drivers help viewport performance.
- A mobile workstation may be preferable when certification, warranty, and long-duration stability matter.

BUYER CHECKLIST
Estimate representative assembly size, verify current software support and drivers, inspect thermals, ports, display, upgradeability, warranty, and return policy, then test the shortlist against a representative model before purchase.

LIMITS
Product availability, prices, drivers, and certification change. This is a decision framework, not a permanent product endorsement.
