Hi. What kind of programs are you planning on using. If you need to use CAD then you may need at least 4GB of Ram, but i would suggest a lenovo Z580 or the Lenovo G580 (if you are on a lower than 400 dollar budget). You should go on Newegg.com they have some good deals and good selections.

Well i can help you a whole lot on the choice for picking the laptop but I would recommend upgrading the Ram (its really easy) and possibly the hard drive (for more memory) or just get lots of usbs lol . Doing those things will make it run faster so you can focus more on ur work than ur **** not working..

The HP Dv5T is an outstanding selection. For $1500 you ought to get a center 2 duo 9000 sequence processor and 512mb pictures card, in case you so elect. as long as you get a pc with committed pictures and 2GB or extra of RAM you're able to be wonderful (extra in case you opt to sense extra suitable risk-free). yet another selection is the Dell Inspiron 1530. those are the two 15" strategies if this is the dimensions you desire.
