Surface Laptop 7 GPU Advice?

Howdy,
I’m currently in the market for a new laptop and eyeing the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (Windows on ARM). Runs integrated graphics Qualcomm Adreno 741. I primarily do CAD for FIRST Robotics Competition so reasonably complicated assemblies and quite a bit to render.
Does anyone have experience running Onshape on this laptop? Is running Onshape with an integrated GPU a bad idea?
Thanks!

@wyatt_foster_ We usually recommend you walk in to any store where they are selling devices and try Onshape out on your dataset while using those devices you are evaluating. Just remember to log out of your account when you are done.
These new Qualcomm chips look pretty interesting, but we have not see much data on them yet about how they handle Onshape. You could always post the results here in this thread if you are able to test a device and run our check page here:

Sounds good, I’ll try to get in a store soon. Thanks for your advice!
@wyatt_foster_ An important thing to note is that Onshape browser currently doesn't support touch inputs:

After reading some of the posts about touch support, Onshape's response to this request is interesting. They say that there are not enough touch users to justify it. But it has quite a few up votes. And the reason there are not many touch users is because it isn't supported to begin with. I would much rather use an iPad with the browser functionality instead of the Onshape app.

Hmmm interesting. I'm not particularly interested in the Surface laptop's touchscreen features, but that's definitely something interesting to keep in mind. Thanks!
