Re: Computer Specs
Laptop Specs:
Dell XPS M1530
Core 2 Duo T9300 @ 2.5Ghz
4GB RAM
GeForce 8600M GT @ 512MB dedicated
15.4" WUXGA LCD Screen with a ridiculous resolution for a laptop
128GB Solid State Drive, 8x DVD R/W
Vista x64
320GB Western Digital Passport, where all of my actual files reside
It's fast. It's quiet. It's portabl-ish. It was $1700 with a 3 year warranty. I've done CAD, MatLab simulations, and a couple of games with no issues. I originally wanted a laptop that utilizes the NVIDIA Quadro chip, but alas those were ~$300 more on average and you couldn't add the same features/performance in other areas without massive $$$ upgrades as well.
Wasn't there a terminal or programming feature in AutoCad at some point? Something triggered a memory where a friend and I were joking about it and he said he CAD'ed his entire mechanical project with the keyboard faster than the pros at his internship could do with a mouse.
