    Hey guys

    Doing some cad work on a laptop in the coming months need something like i3-7 with 16gb memory and SSD Prefer dell due to work having all the docking stations already there to attach to larger screens..

    these look like a good crowd to buy from and can upgrade the ram, ssd etc, which would be the best buy out of those? preferably want to keep it under 400, or if anyone has links to others with similar specs please

    thanks in advance

    16GB of Memory, and SSD for under 400...

    You're only going to get 8GB of memory and either a small SSD, or a regular 500GB disk drive for that kind of money. What you're asking for would cost closer to 800.

    I would also be doubtful about any docking stations working. It all depends on the dock and the model you look at. I would presume the docks are for latitudes. (This is assuming the dock is more than just a USB dock which works with most laptops)
