Re: Laptop Advice
A year ago I got a refurbished Dell Precision M4400 Workstation laptop off eBay for $200. Mine had an NVIDIA Quadro FX graphics card, but a slightly old processor. For me personally, it has done great, and is built very durably, if a little heavy. It runs Solidworks really well, and can do large assemblies well too. Mine came with 4 GB RAM, and can upgrade to 8.
TL;DR Works great for FRC purposes, you won't have to pay very much for it at all, and can instead save some money to spend on a better one down the road.
