Default New Laptop for running ACAD 06 civil

I'm thinking about buying an Inspirion 1750 with 2.1 Ghz Pent. Dual Core, 4GB RAM and 500 GB Hard drive. Just be using it for 2D drawings and some excel and word stuff. Looking for some insight on how the performance might be. Not sure about the graphics card at this time. Thanks

Well, the min. requirements for C3D09 are a P4 3.0. I think you are safe.

Sounds fine JWLEACH. Where are you posting from?

Shouldn't have any problems considering the minimal use you have planned.

Why a laptop? Are you needing portability?
You might want to check Lenovo's Thinkpad™ laptops, excellent.
Service from Lenovo is also second to none.
