51-70k Looking for a Laptop less than 70K for an Interior design course

[Superhind]

My friend is looking for a Laptop for his sister who has just started college and looking for a laptop for designing stuff. AFAIK, she will use Adobe's Substance 3D and other interior designing software. I am well versed with PC hardware but unaware of Laptop stuff.
Atleast 16GB of ram and 40 series GPU should be needed at bare minimum I think.

Is dGPU important? Is a 100% sRGB display required?

Gaming laptops with dGPUs are available but are heavy & no 100% sRGB display.

https://www.amazon.in/Acer-7-7735HS-Graphics-Windows-ANV15-41/dp/B0DFWRZLK5 - Usually around 75k before card offers

Can find 13-14" laptops with decent CPU & 100% sRGB display but no dGPU or upgradeable RAM.

RGB is not required. Dgpu is tho. GPU will be crucial for faster rendering.

display color accuracy in design would be an essential requirement.

Do check the HDMI version in case you want to use external HDMI /DP display.
many HDMI / DP ports will be limited to 4k @ 24Hz to 30Hz only.
Opt for one with atleast HDMI 2.0 or DP 1.4+

It is rare to get something limited to 4K 30Hz these days, obviously possible in 30k laptops or so. 4K 60Hz compatible ports is the least you should expect.

I disagree, even 50k laptops have DP 1.2 and HDMi 1.4 , i checked. Even 12th and 13th gen intel have such ports.
So it is better to check before purchasing.
For example.....

LENOVO 13th Gen Intel

DP 1.2 supports 4K 60Hz, so technically my statement is still correct. HDMI 1.4 is definitely bad at this price, should have been HDMI 2.0 (even this is old now).

I was talking about HDMI.Check the first post as it is most common option available.
DP option is part of USB.
