Re: Cheap, effective laptops
If Used laptops are an option, I'd look at getting some used Dell Latitude/Precision laptops from the last few years, with Nvidia or ATI graphics. I've had great luck with Dell Latitudes (and Precisions for the most part), and they've gotten so cheap used it's ridiculous. $300 on ebay can buy a lot of laptop if you know what you're looking for... A year and a half ago I bought a Dell Latitude E6430 for $250, while that was with Intel graphics (which aren't bad but not enough for modern CAD), $350 at the time would get one with Nvidia Quadro graphics instead. I haven't looked more recently, but I'd think the price has come down some.
