Alexgera Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I am planning to buy a laptop for work with AutoCAD and Inventor for under $1000. I had HP Pavilion with Intel i5, 4GB memory and Nvidia Geforce 512 MB Video card, which worked OK. What could be a good replacement for it? I am looking at HP ENVY 17t Laptop | Intel Core i7. Will it work ? It has integrated, not dedicated video memory and I am worried about it. Thank you for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I would recommend a dedicated graphics card and at least 8GB of RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 An Alienware 17" laptop should be able to handle the job. No need to budget for a big monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 An Alienware xx" laptop .... big monitor. My machine https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=alienware+m18&tbm=shop meets the $1000 spec a couple of times. Actually though, I do have a second monitor for stationary work and highly recommend it.
