I'm planning to buy a laptop for work. I do mostly Autocad stuff. Some Sketchup, Renderings and Photoshop. I have a desktop that works very well but I need a Laptop to work at our Dining or Living Room when my office gets a little bit too hot.

Lenovo Y50
Acer Aspire V15
ASUS K501-LX

Or any other suggestions?

Thanks.
 
Hi,

I would go for the 3rd laptop, you'll want to have something reliable and would get your moneys worth. The Asus laptop has SSD in it that would sure be an advantage over the other 2 that has regular HDD.
 
RAM: When it comes to memory, or RAM, even the cheapest notebooks have 4GB these days so don’t settle for less. If you can get a system with 6 or 8GB, you’ll be better prepared for high-end applications and lots of multitasking. Gamers and power users should look for 16GB of RAM.
Hard Drive: For most users, a fast drive is more important than a large one. If you have a choice, go for a 7,200-rpm hard drive over a 5,400-rpm unit. Even if you have several movies and games on your hard drive, a 320GB should provide more than enough space, but 500GB or 750GB drives usually don’t cost much more.
