I'm looking into getting a laptop upgrade since the one I have now is not powerful enough to run all the programs for architecture, I'm also a photographer on the side, I put most work on external harddrive but storage is important. It has to have i7 core 8th gen processor, 16gb ram at least, and at least 512 gb hard drive. I have been looking mostly at the dell xps 15 and lenovo yoga 9020, but I'm super confused as to what is the best. Can anyone give me some incite on these two laptops and maybe recommend some other ones. I have kind of ruled out HP as I have heard a handful of negative things totally out weighing the positive.
Which laptop is best for me to hold all my architectural programs and work but also work with my photography; lightroom and photoshop?

Here's a list with filters set up to your specs. Then you just have to go in a read the reviews. You can even look at amazon or Frys. Shop around and find the best prices that meet your needs. Go to stores and ask questions from associates. Look at the laptops in person. Maybe consider getting a second monitor that's 22 or even 24', depending your setup. Those aren't too expensive and you can extend your programs to a second screen for more space to work.

The quality of Dell is not that great. The parts are flimsy, batteries don't last and display and card problems happen, but if anything goes wrong their customer support is excellent.
Lenovo on the other hand, if it develops any problems you will have a hard time.
So I recommend Dell. Better of the two
