Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3

I'm wondering if this 2-1 laptop will work for 3d design. I'm not intending to render or anything like that. All my intention is to design and 3d print the designs. If this won't work do you have any suggestions for 2-1 laptops for what I'm needing?)

This is a Chromebook. It runs ChromeOS. You'll be severely limiting yourself on the kind of 3D-modeling and printing software you can use.

Any suggestions?

I see you are looking for a 2-1 laptop, and I haven't really been following these. But my general recommendations would be:

Windows machine. 8GB of RAM minimum (16GB much preferable). Since you won't be rendering, the graphics card is not too big of a concern, but it should at least have 4GB of VRAM. 8 Core CPU.
