ASUS ProArt P16: stronger contender than the PX13 for your use case — AMD CPU + NVIDIA GPU combo is solid. Worth considering as an alternative to the ThinkPad.

Claude recommends me the ASUS ProArt P16, which meets all my specs but there are no online reviews that recommend it for CAD, would it work?
Do not buy ASUS products. Their after-sales support is terrible, and their QC is a mess. On top of that, the ProArt P16 is equipped with a junk CPU (the HX370), so it is even less worth buying.
Proart is trash.

Compared to the ASUS ProArt P16, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 is the better choice for your purpose because it is a true engineering workstation. It is designed for CAD and simulation work, while the ProArt is more of a creator/gaming laptop and may not be as stable or consistent with engineering applications.
