Best laptop for AutoCAD, CATIA, and Solid Edge?

I need a recommendation for a laptop that can actually handle the software listed above. I don't want everything lagging or stuttering constantly. Is there anything decent available for $1500? I'm a high schooler and have to complete assignments using these programs. I don't need it for gaming since I already have an Xbox One.

Look, if you want software that doesn't choke, you need a beefy processor, plenty of RAM, a GPU with as many CUDA cores as possible, and an SSD. Trying to pull all that together for $4,500 is basically impossible.

If you're stuck at that price point, you might have to settle for a compromise like this:

It lacks an SSD, but it makes up for it with an incredible graphics card and a killer, high-speed processor. Plus, it comes with Full HD resolution.

Anything else you look at in this price range is going to have a much weaker GPU and a processor that's half as fast. In my book, raw power matters more than having an SSD right out of the gate, even though I know how much of a difference one makes...

Besides, you can always just buy an SSD later once you actually have the cash and swap it into the drive bay where the DVD player used to be—since nobody uses those things anymore anyway.
