I'd go with one of the Lenovo models, first has faster CPU but weaker video card, either of them is more than good enough for programming since that is just text typing most of the time.

If it was my system, I'd go with a faster video card since you can't upgrade that in the future if autocad is too slow or you want to play games.

as i read in autocad forum last days
autocad not a multi-thread app one/2 core with max frequency better thing more cores not affected
2 or 4 or 6 or 8 core at same frequency are equal advantage more core only on handle operating system and when use some app with autocad at the same time
also no need for powerful vga as i will not go for 3d modelling
also i play only football manager which like autocad need power cpu better than powered gpu

hp one has more powerful cpu (1.8 upto 4.6) also battery life is better twice as it is 12.5hr

lenovo anly advantage gpu the cpu not match bigger but bad thing 6hr battery at max

this thing confuse me
so what do you think

My picks did not have to do just with speeds, HP laptops are not as reliable as Lenovo ones overall.

Lenovo does tend to have weaker batteries, if you are worried about battery life in the laptop then you would want to look for a low wattage CPU without a dedicated video card.
