i will get a new laptop using for auto cad 2d and civil 3d also python coding

i will not make 3d modeling but civil 3d maybe 3d modeling or may not also i will not use other auto desk application

autocad not a multi-thread app one/2 core with max frequency better thing more cores not affected
2 or 4 or 6 or 8 core at same frequency are equal advantage more core only on handle operating system and when use some app with autocad at the same time
also no need for powerful vga as i will not go for 3d modelling

also i play only football manager which like autocad need power cpu better than powered gpu'

Display Card Minimum: 1 GB GPU with 29 GB/s Bandwidth and DirectX 11 compliant
Recommended: 4 GB GPU with 106 GB/s Bandwidth and DirectX 11 compliant

in my country i narrow selection also according budget to this 5 option

HDD and ram is same also i can change this in future so it is compare

CPU/GPU building laptop - battery life and cooling system

1-Lenovo idea pad 330

i5-8300h

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB GDDR5

battery 3 cell / 2cell

powerful cpu also vga ( we not need this power in Vga as i know)

battery life the worst one in lenovo forum only 2-3 hr

2-Lenovo idea pad 330

i7-8550u

NVIDIA GeForce mx130 4GB GDDR5

battery 2 cell

worst battery life also

3- hp 15 da-1018ne

i7-8656u

NVIDIA GeForce mx130 4GB GDDR5

battery 3cell 41whr

cpu close to 8300 and better in save power but 8300 more base frequency power less vga

best battery life for all according sites 7.5 hr and hp says 12.5 hr

i could not find any assembly to see cooling system

4- dell inspieron 3576

i7-8550u

AMD Radeon 520 (2GB GDDR5)

battery like hp maybe less than hp but cooling solution, consisting of a fat heat pipe that drives the heat away from both CPU and GPU. The heat is then dissipated from the heatsink by the medium-sized fan.

5- dell inspieron 3580

i7-8565u

AMD Radeon 520 (2GB GDDR5)

less battery life less cooling system but more powerful cpu

also if my company work refuse to get above
there is less than option

HP 15-DA1018NE (Intel® Core™ i5-8265U - NVIDIA GeForce® MX130 4 GB
does this better than the dell one witch i7-8550u/2g Radeon 520

I would go with the best combination of amount of cores vs Boost clock speed on a single core for the purposes you have described. I think even intel on CPU graphics is good enough for any 2d task and that the difference will come down to cpu assuming you can upgrade memory and storage as needed.

You should list how much onboard main memory each laptop has and what's its max (should has at least 8GB) It's not that important if your main task is programming.

Actually I will go for dell, but this guy have summarize the HP laptop for autocad in this article, maybe you can take a look https://passtools.com/best-laptops-for-autocad/#4_HP_Spectre_x360_13T_Best_Notebook_for_AutoCAD

hp can get only budget model which i refer
article about 3d modelling which i will not do
just 2d autocad and civil 3d app which need higher cpu frequency and a decent gpu
i refer to display require above

this is models above are the available option in my country

so go for which

all model same ram same hard disk
