    Laptop for light usage Autocad, Artcam, Catia 2012 700€

    Hi again. At the moment I am thinking of buying this machine: http://www.andermi.ee/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_128_133&product_id=304 Processor seems fast enough. I compared it to much more expensive models (i7-4930MX) and the score difference is not that different compared to the...

    Laptop for light usage Autocad, Artcam, Catia 2012 700€

    Hi! My friend is looking for a laptop that could run Catia 2012, Artcam and Autocad. Price cap is 700€ (in Europe). By his words he is not doing heavy tasks. Right now he is using a laptop with i3-380M and HD 5650 which is quite old tech. It gets the work done, but is lagging. By that I assume...
