CAD/ Inventor laptop for under 1000$ ?

[Alexgera]

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.

I would recommend a dedicated graphics card and at least 8GB of RAM.

& budget for a big monitor to plug into it

An Alienware 17" laptop should be able to handle the job. No need to budget for a big monitor.

An Alienware xx" laptop .... big monitor.

 

My machine

meets the $1000 spec a couple of times.

 

Actually though, I do have a second monitor for stationary work and highly recommend it.
