meh, it’ll probably do. You don’t need a power house for school because shiny renderings are no substitute for clever design. A good set of pencils and paper will serve you better.

I’d not consider anything under 17”. Full keyboard with calculator pad is good too but bigger rigs have more heat sinks, sometimes. Bonus points for not asking about a Mac.
Beginner Laptop Selection
Newbie student here. Considering the following as a "starter" laptop to run things like CAD, Revit, Sketchup, Vray:

Bump the thing up to 32 or 64 gb memory and make sure it has a good graphics card. Otherwise, good to go
