Re: Cheap, effective laptops

I don't have any recommendations of current products, but in the past I have had a good experience using a "back to school sale" low end laptop to do cad and other design work. When shopping, look for Celeron or Pentium branded processors and do a web search for the processor specifications. Often, the low end processor is a rebranding of an older low-mid tier processor that is quite capable.

Another route to explore is refurbished mobile workstations. There are plenty of off-lease laptops on ebay and similar sites that can be a good bang for the buck option.
