Autocad laptop

maxamillius · 2015-10-20 07:32:38

Hi Guys, I recently started back in college studying electrical services engineering. I am looking for an everyday laptop for completing assignments etc. Probably the most memory heavy programme I will be using would be AutoCAD. I would be grateful for any advice, Have a max of €500 to spend. Thanks,

Imo, you're priority should be for as good a screen as you can get. It must be 1080p I'd say, especially working with cad. And get the best processor/RAM combo you can find.
