Hello everyone,
I am currently looking for a new laptop for AutoCAD 3D Rendering purposes. I have a tight budget of 700$. I do realize that it's low, that really is the limit though. I need it as a temporary laptop while I'm in college, and I will eventually replace it when I start working. I am not really a techie and have little knowledge (although I am trying to learn) in computers specs, etc, thus I am in need of help. I have been searching for days but I still haven't had any luck. Although I have browsed through the catalogs of different computer shops and have narrowed it down to a few options, but I am still very much unsure about them.

(From the reviews that I have read about the laptops this brand/manufacturer, half of the opinions say that there are overheating issues, but others say otherwise.)
From what I've read, i5-3230 > i5-4200U, and 2GB GeForce GT 635M > 2GB GeForce GT 720M
any thoughts?

Lenovo G400s - http/pcx.com.ph/laptop/lenovo/lenovo-g400s-59374848-i5-win8.html
1. Are any of these laptops good as temporary machines for CAD?
2. If yes, which among these 3 would be the best to get?
3. If no, do you have any recommendations on what I should buy?
4. Any other advice/recommendations you can give me before I buy a laptop?
I am not so sure with the Lenovo ones when it comes to the keys, track pad, resolution, etc.
The review for the LD2JW says "The display is average due to its 1366 x 768 resolution which we also see in 11.6-inch laptops."
Here's a link to the review: http/www.pinoytechblog.com/archives/neo-elan-ld2jw-notebook-review
(The only difference between LD2JL and LD2JW is the OS)
*Aesthetics isn't an issue as long as it is not a girly color. lol
Thank you very much. Any help would be much appreciated.
