If you avoid using the latest version of Inventor, you can get by with a computer with lower specs.

I've run Inventor 7 on my laptop (1.4Ghz Celeron, 1.25G RAM, Intel 950 integrated graphics) and it works relatively well up, on assemblies with up to a few dozen parts. It's great for being able to quickly CAD ideas for a few parts, but not suited for CADing entire projects.
