Hey I’m asking to see what you guys would recommend for an autocad lt laptop for around a grand. I want this to last a while maybe 6+ years. I have a flexible budget but around a grand is where I’m comfortable with. Autocad lt is 2d only and the recommended hardware on their site is copy pasted from the full 3D software. Long battery life, lightweight, and build quality are very important to me as I’ll be traveling around the country with it through many airports where Neanderthals will be tossing it around. I can sacrifice some of the priorities for power just so that I’ll never be lagging behind. If anyone could help I’d appreciate it, I’ve been looking for weeks and I’m still as lost as when I started.
