Hello there,

I'm a construction engineer and I need to buy laptop so that I can work on architectural designs and other engineering calculations at the personal level (at home). So I need your advice which laptop should I purchase?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you will use CAD programs so you need something with a lots of CPU power and memory. Your minimum should be i5 with 8GB of mem. But go for i7 and 8GB. Which brand is up to you.
PS: look for one that have Nvidia or AMD (ATI) card not "integrated" one.
