If you need the best laptop for engineering software and you work at a professional level, I expect that you need a computer that can travel a lot between home and office or between the office and sites.
This travel requirement rules out having a bulky device to lug around, but you still need the performance and capabilities to do real work away from your desk. I shortlisted 26 potential engineering laptops for this article and compared their specifications.
This comparison whittled the list down to 9 laptops that are what I would recommend purely from their specifications, and in some cases, pricing. This list might not have the highest performance laptops for engineering software, but it does have a great mix of portability, performance, and price. In general, a laptop for engineering software in , whether for engineering students or a business, should have the following specifications to ensure it will last through an entire engineering degree or a 3-year depreciation for business users:.
The Quadro lineup in mid-priced laptops offers very little value for money, even if it does make some engineering applications think you have a better graphics card. The performance will still be superior with a gaming card running Studio drivers. If you feel the need for a Quadro card, or you have been advised to get one, stick to the Quadro RTX , which offers decent performance.
Prices shown for the laptops are reflective of the price at the time of writing and may vary depending on the sale region, specials and changes by the manufacturer. Pricing can also vary wildly depending on the configuration, as can performance.
In that case, you can still get a laptop that is suitable for most CAD work, although its lower performance is going to be noticeable in complex simulations, large 3D models , or PCBs with hundreds of components. This graphics card is absolutely fine for Altium Designer, which does not tend to stress a graphics card. You might find it a little odd, but I do like that this laptop has a built-in SD card reader – not all do. For a lightweight, low-cost laptop, the Inspiron offers good value for money; however, is lacking in performance compared to the other options in this list.
Height: I prefer a slightly larger laptop screen myself. However, a smaller form factor certainly has appeal to many users, especially for students that value portability.
For multi-threaded applications, this could offer you an advantage. The 76Wh battery is respectable and should give you a decent run time when away from power.
Users have stated that the laptop can get very hot when being used heavily, so probably not a great choice if you want to have it sitting on your lap. Many reviews say the fans are on all the time, even when doing simple tasks, the noise of which could be annoying to some users. If you know me, then you know I love plenty of USB ports on all my computers. Width: Last year I was desperately waiting for this laptop to come out before publishing, but the laptop got delayed and was not released before the article came out.
If this had been released last year it would have been my top pick, this year, as with last year the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme is still a great contender, however, is once again a generation behind the latest and greatest CPU. There are other laptops on this list which have similar or better specifications for half the price. That being said, the ThinkPad Extreme lineup has a reputation for being very durable and well built.
The MSI Prestige is targeted at creators – artists and software developers, but it is also well suited to engineers and CAD users for all the same reasons. The latest generation processor is not as powerful as the Intel i7 H you’ll find in other engineering laptops for students or professionals. Despite this, the processor is perfect for applications that tend to do most of their work on a single thread, such as Altium Designer or Solidworks.
Given the price point of this laptop, the performance is quite acceptable. This still makes it a great option for Altium Designer work, even with complex boards that have many 3D models, you might feel a bit limited for MCAD applications, video editing or GPU based simulation workloads.
If you love being able to spec out every last feature of your computer, Dell is the master of configurable laptops. The CPUs and graphics are all the latest and greatest for this laptop.
The precision series laptops are all built specifically for engineering applications, and the series has been around for a long time. The ones I have owned in the past have been solidly built and designed for use. Being that these are priced for business, you can typically obtain a lower price by talking to a sales rep, and substantially lower price if your company is already a big Dell user. Dell has regular sales which can offer significant discounts too.
The price of a Precision Mobile Workstation is likely going to put it out of reach of students; however, for the professional engineer, the performance will offer a fast return on investment in hours saved and increased productivity.
As an advantage for business users, Dell also offer a month on-site warranty, at least in the USA. Finally, Precision workstations are ISV certified, meaning professional software packages that like to run on certified hardware will be very happy. The laptop comes with a Dell UltraSharp display, likely making it the best display on this list and perhaps one of the best displays available in an engineering laptop, perfect for professionals or students that can afford it.
The slightly high resolution of x will offer you a similar pixel pitch to a Full HD display on a The starting weight of 1. Front Height: 8. Rear Height: Depth: We have looked at both ends of the spectrum with Dell so far, with the Inspiron at the lower end of price and performance and the Precision Mobile Workstation at the top end.
The Dell XPS 15 sits right in the middle. The new XPS is pretty interesting, and the display looks pretty incredible with an ultra-narrow bezel and the upgraded display option with over 4k resolution in a While you can get lower-priced options than the starting price shown above, that is the price of the cheapest pre-configured i7 based XPS 15 with 16GB of RAM. The graphics card is not incredibly exciting but is fine for the Altium Designer user.
For the schematic objects, the current Snap Grid is displayed on the status bar. Press G to cycle through the available grid values as you work. When Always Drag is enabled, the software attempts to maintain the connectivity currently defined in that net. Always Drag can be temporarily inhibited by holding Ctrl as you click and drag. Press the G key during object movement to cycle through the available Grid Preset settings. These are configured in the Schematic – Grids page of the Preferences dialog.
Press the Ctrl key during object movement to temporarily inhibit the current Grid Preset. This feature is useful when you need to carefully adjust the location of a string.
When pasting copied component objects, their designators will reset if the Reset Parts Designators on Paste option is enabled on the Schematic – Graphical Editing page of the Preferences dialog. Click to delete a selected parameter. Summary A Part is an electrical design primitive. The terms Part and Component are both used to describe the symbol that represents the actual electronic device. The term Part is used because some components contain multiple parts.
For example, a quad Op Amp component contains four separate Op Amps, or a resistor network can contain eight independent resistors. For these types of devices, you can create a separate schematic symbol to represent each Part during the component definition and place each of these parts independently. The terms Part and Component are used interchangeably on this page unless a multi-part component is being discussed. When a component is rotated, its text strings are automatically repositioned to suit the new orientation.
This behavior can be disabled if required. To do this, edit the string then clear the Autoposition checkbox in the Parameters Properties panel. Note that manually positioned text strings are denoted by a dot. These dots can be hidden if required by clearing the Mark Manual Parameters option on the Schematic — Graphical Editing page of the Preferences dialog.
Part Properties. General Tab General Reuse Block — when the component is a part of a reuse block, this field shows the name of the parent reuse block. Click the Reuse Block hyperlink to see the properties of this reuse block. Designator — enter the designator.
Comment — enter the name. Use the drop-down to select the number of the associated part then enter the total number of parts. Type — select one of the following component types for the component footprint here.
An example is a standard electrical component, such as a resistor. Mechanical — components that do not have electrical properties, are not synchronized you must manually place them in both editors , and are included in the BOM. An example is a heatsink. Graphical — components that do not have electrical properties are not synchronized you must manually place them in both editors , and are not included in the BOM. An example is a company logo.
They differ from a Standard component in that connectivity created by copper within the footprint is not checked; it is this copper that allows the nets to be shorted. Note: enable the Verify Shorting Copper option in the Design Rule Checker dialog to verify that there is no unconnected copper within the component. Note: enable the Verify Shorting Copper option in the Design Rule Checker dialog to verify that there is no unconnected copper in the component.
An example is a testpoint component that you want to exclude from the BOM. Jumper — components that are used to include wire links in a PCB design, for example, on a single-sided PCB that cannot be fully routed on one layer.
For this component type, the component footprint and pins are synchronized between the schematic and PCB but the net assignments are not, and the component is included in the BOM. As well as selecting this option at the component level, both of the pads in the component must have their JumperID set to the same non-zero value. Jumper type components do not need to be wired on the schematic; they only need to be included on the schematic if they are required in the BOM.
Design Item ID — this field lists the name of the component selected. Click to open the Replace Component Workspace dialog or Replace Component non-Workspace dialog , depending on whether a Workspace or non-Workspace component is being edited. This dialog grants access to full details of the selected component Parameters, Models, Part Choices, Supplier data, etc. If another component is selected as a replacement, this field will then display the full Design Item ID for the newly selected component.
Click the Validate button to display information regarding where the component resides. If it is a non-Workspace component, the file path in which it is saved on your computer will appear.
If it is a Workspace component, the information will indicate that the component was simply found. Source — displays the name of the source library of the component. Click to search for and select the desired library. When connected to an Altium Workspace , note that configuration and use of lifecycle definitions is not supported with the Standard Subscription Plan.
As such, the revision state will not be shown with this level of access to Altium If a component used in a design or managed schematic sheet has been deleted, this will be indicated at the bottom of the General tab in the Properties panel by the associated icon. When clicking the button and not all parts of an out-of-date multipart component are selected, you will be prompted to update all parts of this component. Click Yes in the Confirm dialog that opens to continue.
Your Workspace library health can be explored in more detail through the Library Health dashboard page accessible from the Altium Workspace browser interface. See Library Health Dashboard to learn more. The manufaturer lifecycle status is designed to be used as an indicator , for a number of reasons: Altium maintains a database of many millions of components, produced by thousands of component manufacturers.
Since there is no single, consistent method used by those manufacturers to reflect a component’s lifecycle state, the status is based on information aggregated from manufacturers, global distributors and global sales analysis. A part is only reported as EOL or Obsolete when there is at least one authorized distributor or manufacturer that has confirmed this status.
Determining the Not Recommended for New Design status is more complex. Manufacturers sometimes just report if a part is active or not, and may not give advance warning that a part is to be discontinued or replaced. Therefore this lifecycle status does not always concur with the status provided by the manufacturer.
The status algorithm uses various information, including real time and historical stock availability from all distributors, to try to determine the availability of the part. Parts which have consistently poor availability when they have been generally available in the past , or cannot be sourced over a period of time after having previously having good availability, will eventually be flagged as Not Recommended for New Design if they are not already EOL or Obsolete.
The idea of the lifecycle status indicator is to provide simple-to-understand information that helps you to make more informed decisions about a part, by highlighting those parts which may be problematic.
However, due to the sheer volume of data and number of components that are managed, there is always a chance that the Altium status lags behind the instantaneous manufacturer status, and is therefore not up-to-date. It is not possible for Altium to guarantee the accuracy of the lifecycle status, it is recommended that if there is any doubt that you double-check with the manufacturer for authorized lifecycle information.
To see all hidden parameters, click the Show More link at the bottom of the list. Click the Show Less link to view Favorite parameters only. This feature is available by enabling the Schematic. If no part choices are available, a button that will open the Edit Supplier Links dialog will be made available, which you may use to add supplier links for a component. Generic Component Properties. Generic Components Placing a Generic Component from the Components panel When Altium Designer is connected to a Workspace , the available Generic Components can be accessed from the Components panel where they are exposed when the All option is selected in the Categories pane — or from the top drop-down menu when the panel is in its compact mode.
Summary The designator field is a child parameter object of a schematic component part. Availability and Placement The designator is automatically placed when the parent component part object is placed. Graphical Editing The designator string can be edited graphically using what is known as in-place editing.
An example of in-place editing Once editing is complete, press Enter or click away from the string to exit in-place editing mode. Non-Graphical Editing There are two aspects to consider in relation to editing the designator: editing the value of the designator and editing the display properties of the designator.
Control the display of manual parameter marker dots using the Mark Manual Parameters option on the Schematic – Graphical Editing page of the Preferences dialog. Designator Properties. Edit to change the X position of the object. The value can be entered in either metric or imperial; include the units when entering a value whose units are not the current default. Y second field – The current Y vertical coordinate of the reference point of the object, relative to the current origin.
Edit to change the Y position of the object. Rotation – use the drop-down to select the rotation. Properties Object – displays the associated object.
Name – enable this field by clicking the visibility icon to added the prefix “Designator:” to the designator value itself. Doing so visually distinguishes and confirms that the text value is a designator within the schematic document. Value – displays the designator name itself. Autoposition – check to enable auto-positioning, meaning that the text will remain in the chosen position as the component is moved and rotated. Lock Parameter – check to lock the parameter, which prevents the value from being edited from the Properties panel or schematic document.
Allow Synchronization with Database – enable to synchronize with the database. This option is used to control if the comment can be updated. You may disable this option to prevent that comment from being included in an update process.
Font – use the controls to select the font, font size, font color, and add any desired special characteristics to the font, such as bold, italics, and underlines. Justification – click the arrows to configure the justification of the text or circle to center. Override Library Primitive Preferences dialog only – enable this checkbox to override the primitive settings defined for the designator object in a library.
Therefore, when a component is placed, it will adopt the primitive settings that you have defined in the Preferences dialog, rather than those settings that have been defined for the component in the library. Summary The Comment field is a child parameter object of a schematic component part.
Availability and Placement The Comment is configured when the parent component part object is placed. Graphical Editing The Comment can be edited graphically using what is known as in-place editing. Non-Graphical Editing There are two aspects to consider in relation to editing the Comment: editing the value of the Comment and editing the display properties of the Comment. Editing the Comment in the Schematic Editor The Comment can be defined in the schematic editor as the component is being placed or after the component has been placed on a schematic sheet in the Comment field of the Properties panel.
To edit the comment during component placement, press the Tab key while the component is floating on the cursor. The Properties panel will open; enter the required Comment. Click the design space pause button overlay to resume component placement. Continue to place components or press Esc to terminate placement. To edit the Comment after placement, double-click on the placed component to open the Properties panel where the Comment can be edited.
Editing the Comment Display Properties The appearance of comments, which includes the font type, size, and color, can be configured on the Schematic – Defaults page of the Preferences dialog. Fixing the Location of the Comment The default behavior of the Comment is to auto-position it as a component is rotated during placement.
Comment Properties. Choices are: 0 Degrees , 90 Degrees , Degrees , and Degrees. Properties Component – displays the name of the associated component. Click the Component link to open the Part Properties panel , where you may edit component options, as well as the comment itself, which will be defined in the Comment field of that panel.
Name – enable this field by clicking the visibility icon to add the prefix “Comment:” to the comment value itself. Doing so visually distinguishes and confirms that the text value is a comment within the schematic document. Value – displays the comment name itself. You may disable this option to prevent the comment from being included in an update process. Override Library Primitive Preferences dialog only – enable this checkbox to override the primitive settings defined for the comment object in a library.
Summary Parameters are general purpose text strings that are child objects of a parent object. Availability Parameters are added or automatically included as a property of the parent object and are not placed independently like a Text String. Identifier and System Parameters A range of key system parameters is automatically included with objects placed in a schematic. Several system parameters cannot be made visible and be selected on a schematic sheet, and are therefore not available to the Parameters mode of the Properties panel.
Other system parameters that are not directly accessible in a schematic include Document Sheet and Project parameters. While placing an object Component, Sheet Symbol, etc.
Click the design space pause button overlay to resume placement. Parameters that are added to a parent object during its placement see above will become the default parameters for further placements of that parent object unless the Permanent option on the Schematic — Default Primitives page of the Preferences dialog is enabled for that object.
When this option is enabled, parameters added to the object being placed will be also added to subsequent objects placed during the same placement session, but not to any following placement sessions for that object. To add a parameter to a component pin, for example, select the Pin object in the design space then the Parameters drop-down in the Properties panel or modal dialog. Parameters that are associated with the entire component are added as described above.
Parameter Properties. Properties Object type – displays the type of object Component, Sheet Symbol, etc. Connect your team and design data together in one centralized location for easy access.

Altium Designer’s Installation Management System allows you to handcraft your installation of the software at any ddesigner after initial install. This covers not only updates to the core functionality or designef resourcesbut also the ability to install, update, or remove additional functionality. The latter is made possible through the provision of optional Extensions.
This functionality could include a new importer or exporter, a tool for schematic symbol generation, or maybe support for mechanical CAD collaboration. In short, any targeted packages of functionality that extend and enhance the feature set of the software. This document takes a dedicated look at the concept of Extensions and, altium designer 17 price free importantly, their management.
Additional software functionality, provided through optional extensions, can be desigmer, installed and managed through the Extensions designr Updates view, which accessed by clicking the control at the top-right of the workspace then choosing the Extensions and Updates command from the menu. Accessing the Extensions and Updates area – sltium central from which to efficiently manage the functionality available to the software.
It is from here that altium designer 17 price free can see which extensions are qltium installed, if there are any updates available for them or if additional functionality is available through further extensions. Additionally, you are not constrained in any way – you can freely install, update or remove extension-based functionality at any time as your needs change.
Before looking at the altium designer 17 price free of the interface provided by the Ftee and Updates view, it’s a good idea to take a step back and consider what it is that allows the functionality of the software to be extended – the Extension.
This is a key concept altium designer 17 price free the system to understand. An extension is effectively an add-on to the software, providing extended features and functionality. A core set of features and functions are installed and prrice transparently as part of the initial install, referred to as System Resources.
In addition, a range of Optional Xesigner are available that are packets of functionality that are optionally installed or removed by the user as required. It is the extension concept that enables the installation to be handcrafted in accordance with design needs. Customization of an Altium Designer installation essentially boils down to management of the available extensions.
Install, update or remove available altium designer 17 price free as and when you need. A range of extensions are available from Altium for use with Altium Designer. In addition, and with the Altium Developer extensionyou can extend the functionality of Altium Designer yourself through the use of the Altium Designer SDK Software Development Kit – creating your own extensions for the software. Also inherent to the Altium Developer extension is the dedicated Developer Interfacewhich is the user interface for managing custom extensions.
Part of this interface is a publishing feature that enables you to altium designer 17 price free those extensions securely with a a,tium audience through release to a global repository of extensions a Global Frse Galleryif you will. This is a cloud-based Altium Repository that opens up the possibility for third-party developers to offer and trade extensions for Altium Designer through secure distribution, licensing, and installation of the extensions they craft. Functionality is added to or removed from Altium Designer through installation and removal of optional extensions.
As a concept, an optional extension is a single entity – a package of functionality that installs seamlessly into Altium designer 17 price free Designer’s wider platform environment. However, from the designer’s perspective, optional extensions can be further categorized to altium designer 17 price free a greater depth of meaning as to just altium designer 17 price free is being installed.
