Reply To: Does Ansys support NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 Laptop GPU and AMD Ryzen™ 7 process

We can only really point you at https://www.ansys.com/it-solutions/platform-support for what hardware is supported. Note, if something isn't on the list that means it's not tested, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work. 

In more general terms, you need RAM & SSD for running Mechanical jobs, and RAM for Fluent. Most laptops have more cpu cores than Student has parallel licences (you get 4 at present) so that tends not to be an issue. From experience with my home PC (so a personal comment, not Ansys related) 512GB may be a little small once you've installed Win11 and a few games! Our work PCs (Ansys comment) have twin 1GB SSDs and we're generally running at around 80% disc capacity - C: has all the software & D: is where all my work/files is kept. No comment re backlit keyboards, I turn lights on when I can't see the buttons.....
