Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology? - eviltoast

I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

    I’m on a rather old version of Solidworks, for various reasons, but had hoped for some improvement by now.

    Although, I’m not surprised. Many, if not all of the ‘premium’ CAD and CAM software I have used have no multi-threading either.
