I haven't used Fusion 360 on it yet, but I think the new laptop I just bought might be a good fit for you.
Acer Aspire R 15
The processor is a 7th generation i7 (the newest is 8th gen), but by going with a slightly slower processor, I was able to get a 256GB SSD, Nvidia GeForce 940MX dedicated GPU, 12 GB of RAM and a touchscreen display all for under $800.
It hits the sweet spot of power and price because it's very well-rounded.
AFAIK, CAD programs are fairly GPU-heavy, and having a better GPU could offer better performance. as for whether or not the MX150 would be sufficient, i'm not sure. what's your budget?
Edit- i found AN acer swift 3, this one, which does not appear to have the MX150 chip in it. maybe i'm not seeing it, or maybe it's the wrong model, but my point is you could probably find something with a better card for around the same price, for example, this. which has a better GPU. as a side note, i have not done any research into 7th gen vs 8th gen processors, so i can't tell you how much of a difference that will make.
Edit2: this is a comparison of the CPUs of the two laptops that were mentioned above. note the performance increases of 0-10%.
this is the comparison of the two GPU's. note the 1050 has 17-50% gains in performance.
I used a track ball mouse. Just my personal preference though.

And your very welcome have fun with fusion360
You could use a contour duplicator like this. Then just take a good photo of it on a contrasting background and use it as a reference to create your curve

As others have said, a decent gaming pc will run Fusion great. An i7 processer and a NVIDIA 1050 graphics card or better will handle just about all you can throw at it. I built my current CAD desktop back in 2013 to run AutoCad and Inventor and it handles those like a champ, but just falls short with Fusion. I bought this laptop a few months ago and it runs circles around my desktop.
Radius Gauges
You lay them on the fillet you're trying to measure and pick the one that lines up perfect. Kinda like a thread gauge for curves.

This looks very interesting. Do any of the parts have a specific use or are they all just random designs?
I used this one Tacklife Advanced Laser Measure but there are cheaper ones available.
3d Connexion Space Mouse
I use a 3d mouse (http://amzn.to/2sEaYmg ). After getting used to it for a while, it just feels very natural and quicker to align the models than a regular mouse. Fusion does have some quirks (or I’m missing an obvious setting) when I’m in sketch mode - the sketch seems to move in odd directions, but I just readjust myself and work through it.

It's given me a lot of practice drawing parts out and I can knock out most in under 5 minutes, but that yoke backplate has been giving me hell.
