Re: Looking for a laptop for CAD
Here is the Inventor 2014 system requirements.
I would recommend a higher CPU clock speed. Autodesk says at least 3 GHz. I would also recommend at least 6 GB of RAM. Make sure that you can upgrade the RAM in the future. As your models become more complex, you will need more RAM. Many new computers won't let you do that without voiding the warranty.
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-7000 with a Core i7 3610QM at 2.3 GHz (3.2 "Turbo") 16 GB RAM, and a GeForce GTX 650 with 2 GB GDDR5 RAM. I don't use all of the RAM most of the time, but the faster CPU is very helpful.
