Guys im new here and im planning to buy laptop..i want to put 3dmax 2012 and autocad 2012...just asking for this system i found in Pc store..my budget is around 800$ to 837$

Toshiba Satellite L740-1174U Quad Core A6-3400 ATI 6520 WIndow 7 Professional Laptop
AMD A6-3400 Quad Core Processor, (2.3GHz, 4MB L2 cache), AMD APU Express Chipset, 4GB DDR3 Memory, 640GB Hard Drive, ATI Radeon 6520 HD Video Graphics, 14.1" HD Picture Widescreen LCD,

so anyone..is this ok for 3dmax rendering?...it is fast or slow..(sorry for my bad english ^^)

From what I've read, that is a Notebook, not a Laptop. I wouldn't recommend using a Notebook for CAD or 3D work. You could probably run Max and Autocad on that machine, but I can't say how well they will run, and rendering could be a problem. Go back and read through the previous posts in this thread to get an idea of the type of specs you need. I think you're going to have to bump up your budget into the $1,200 range in order to get something reasonably useful.

Go here as a place to start, since this is all for Dell Precision all the choices will be either Great or Pretty damn good, and the laptop, for the other choices you list just about any computer with minimum Autodesk specs will work.

@CAD64.... hope you can help me which is better....hope you can recommend me..

Sorry, but I don't give recommendations on hardware purchases anymore, so I can't tell you which computer you should purchase. That's a decision that you need to make, based on your budget.

All I can tell you is that you should get the fastest processor, (with the most cores), you can afford. Also get as much RAM as you can afford and get the best video card that you can afford.

You really should contact a company that builds computers and talk to them. Tell them you are looking for a laptop, tell them what software you will be running and ask them what they recommend.
