    A mate of mine is looking into buying a laptop and with me being vaugely techy, i naturaly get grilled on the matter.
    i know sweet fa about the differences between the types of intel processors available nor which brands would be the wisest choice for that price range.

    the main requirements are a large widescreen display...
    other than that pretty much anything goes so long as the specs are alright.
    it'll be used for cad so i'm guessing that crappy onboard gfx chipsets are a no-no. but in the price range he's going for i doubt they would be very commonplace...

    any help would be greatly appreciated. (i'm honestly not being a lazy mofo - i've got no internet connection at home and browsing in work isn't really an option)

    Browsing at work is a no no yet you've got a post count of over 6,000?
    Hmmmm..... ;)

    Only kidding. I'm fairly interested in this topic as I'm in the market for a laptop myself and I wouldn't know too much about the nuts and bolts of computers.

    i think he's after more of a desktop replacement than a sleek mobile pc... will have to check though.
    not too fond of recommending a viao tbh, they seem to be the ipods of windows based laptops. (style and substance at a crazy price)
