Unless you're rendering really high poly models it shouldn't be too bad, not sure about this thing's thermal performance though
That said whatever you end up getting, get a storage upgrade first
500Gb is not enough at all
If you don't mind me asking what exactly are you planning to do ??
Also would Mac Mini be an option (used) in your price range??

I see, any plans to do 4k stuff??

mostly 1080p , correct me if I am wrong the video memory is shared with the system ram right suppose 16 gigs of total ram the XE would take 8 afaik

Definitely recommend a dedicated GPU (Nvidia) if you're going to do anything complex in autocad/revit. Are you open to used or only want a new build?

used should be fine but revit and auto cad we would be using to make small changes and corrections mostly ( note: revit runs fine on the dell XPS 13 with intel iris Xe)

Oh just saw this thread after replying to your DM 
This is what I replied, reposting it here to see if any others have comments about it ->

Only concern is I don't know about the GPU requirements for your gfx apps and autocad, if it's ok for the built-in iGPU then this is a decent deal IMO...
Also I can't say 16 GB enough or not for your gfx design work so just ensure this model meets your requirements
I should also say just check if the CPU has that Intel QAT (quick assist tech) feature which I think it does have - this is heavily used by many gfx apps for good acceleration!
