Costco HP Envy 15t or 15z

[plee611]

Which computer should I choose? I run some engineering programs (ie AutoCad, Ansys)

15t
i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz
8GB Memory
Intel HD Graphics 4600

15z
A10-5750M
12 GB Memory
AMD Radeon HD 8000 Series Graphics
Backlit Keyboard

Everything else is the same.

Thanks in advance!

CAD Operations depend mostly on the CPU.

In terms of CPU Performance, 15t is way better than 15z.
As far as GPU is concerned, no doubt 15z has a better graphics, but the difference isn't too much, as 4th gen Intel's Integrated graphics are quite good. For CAD, I think the difference will be insignificant.

Here's a comparison between the GPUs - AMD Raedon 8670D vs Intel HD4600:
