YMMV: It's back but $50 more than last month's deal of $999 but still a great deal when you consider the specs and build quality — all aluminum!

Also, the iGPU offers about half the compute and speed of a 4050 in most games (specifically, in 90% of today's games, the 4050 offers 180-250% of the average FPS, as per NotebookCheck). Which is still impressive for a iGPU, don't get me wrong. Since you didn't specify a particular CAD program, I'd recommend researching your particular CAD program(s) more thoroughly to answer that question.
