    Which laptop would be better for AutoCAD?

    Well I went with the G5070. Won't be using this that long anyway, hopefully I graduate soon and start working! 1 year to go. Anyway I thought that the spare cash would probably go to an SSD or a printer soon. Thank you very much for all your help. @TryHardVermin - If you could that might be...

    Which laptop would be better for AutoCAD?

    Well I'll get the plotter/printer later on, or I don't know. I'll be printing out on 20x30 sheets and the printers for that are hella expensive and I'm still just studying. So then, ATI JET LE R5 M230 with 2GB DDR3L VRAM or GT 820M? Or does it not matter?

    Which laptop would be better for AutoCAD?

    Hello, I've asked around before, however the laptops I was checking out were sold out. Sucks. Anyway, I'm trying to choose among these laptops. Which would be the best bet? I do have a tight budget and have narrowed it down to these few choices. I've checked in so many stores and these are by...

    Looking For a CAD Laptop with a Tight Budget

    Yeah it seems like a 15.6 inch one would be better. Someone also pointed out that the numeric keypad on the Lenovo/Neo would be nice to have since I'll be inputting a lot of numbers in CAD. Seems like the Acer's out now. Sorry about that. So I'm inclined to the Lenovo, but they're out of stock...

    Looking For a CAD Laptop with a Tight Budget

    Okay, so new updates/thoughts. I saw the Acer V5-452G on another site of a store, it's much cheaper at $600. Would it be better if I take that and get an SSD or more ram? I do have a few more questions though, so I read about the crossfire thing you mentioned. I am very much new to this, would...

    Looking For a CAD Laptop with a Tight Budget

    Hello again, So I've been looking for more laptops and I haven't seen much of AMDs. Most of them have low CPU speeds. Although they are much cheaper, none of the clerks/sales reps recommend them for AutoCAD. I thought that they were just saying those to sell the intel based laptops more, but...

    Looking For a CAD Laptop with a Tight Budget

    I compared the GPUs you listed vs the 2GB GeForce GT 640M. The GT640M scored higher than all except for the 740M and 825M. (GPUBOSS.com and notebookcheck.net) I haven't found any laptops with 740M yet that is available here and falls within the budget. The ones with 825M are even harder to...

    Looking For a CAD Laptop with a Tight Budget

    I'd prefer a desktop but I will be on the go. I'm a student so I have to bring it to school to continue there. So I followed what you said and I found this: http://www.pccorner.com.ph/products.do?action=showproductdetail&typeid=23&categoryid=88&productid=6491 Would this be better than the...
