Re: buying new laptops

My vote goes with the laptop that I have, which is a HP Pavilion dv5000. It has a large screen and right now runs AutoCAD, Inventor, and Solidworks on Windows XP. Graphics are good, although for something that is very graphics intensive like orbiting a 3D model, it's sluggish but does not crash.

The good:
-It can handle AutoCAD, Inventor, or Solidworks.
-Large screen
-Wider key spacing
-Built-in IR remote control handy for presentions.
-Media Center!
-Helpful HP people.

The bad:
-Topheavy
-Short battery life
-Hard to maneuver
