Hi guys,

I need some of your experience and help in laptops. Last year i bought a laptop from a friend, an Acer Notebook. It was nice but got slow, and now is broke up. :x

I have asked many people about laptops and all have a diferent idea, option, etc.

I dont wanna be gank no more , i need a really good laptop! work and college is demanding it. I work with a lot of numbers in Excel, some graphics in AutoCAD and Etabs. I will like to have a GOOD speed (CPU,Ram) and a nice video and LCD ( a good clear and define vision).

Also i need it to last at least 2 years :? what is the best i can get with 600-800us??

Thx a lot

Oh, too bad. I was thinking maybe if the components were relatively good you could swap them into a different chassis. That;s off the table with those. Sorry
