    Solved! Buying Laptop for Autocad/ study/ general purpose

    autocad doesnt utilize multi cores much so 4 cores will work good. Get a cpu with fast single core speed. CAD likes memory so if you can swing 32gb, you will be able to work with larger cad files more efficiently.

    Solved! Buying Laptop for Autocad/ study/ general purpose

    Check Dell Precision refurbished workstations or they have a good end of year sale. They are built for autocad. When I was using them I made sure to get ECC memory. Refurbished units do come with a warranty and Ive had great luck with them...

    SOME of the pics/movies on my SD card are not seen on the computer, while others of the same file type are there.

    Try a larger SD card and get a cheap SD card reader (usb interface) that you can plug in to your computer. Then you should be able to manage the files better.

    My laptop is too slow (acer)

    You might also move to a Solid State Drive and up the RAM. So, a clean install (Win 7) on a SSD with more RAM should make a big difference.
