What do you need wireless A for?

There's an intel internal a/b/g card, but it most certainly won't be found in a $700 laptop.
A $700 laptop also most likely won't come with a dedicated graphics card, which will hamper you in 3DS-Max and AutoCad.
I used to run Inventor on an old Gateway laptop with a 800mhz P3, 128 MB of ram, and integrated graphics, and it actually wasn't that bad, for the most part. The only problem it had was taking a LONG time to render things, and crashing at random times during such renders.
