Away from Forums, Again!
Hey guys, it's been a while since I last posted here, I just kind of disappeared from the forums lately, but hey it's good to be back! Ok so I have a query, my brother who's in Mechanical 3rd year needs a laptop for designing purposes and he will be using softwares like Auto CAD, Solidworks and likes of these 3D designing softwares. What he desires is that they should work smoothly without any hiccups and the 3D viewports should be as smooth as possible (I am pretty sure a good combo of CPU+RAM+GPU is required for this). The problem is, I am out of sync of this laptop world so I need your expert opinions on which laptop (NOT ultrabook) to buy.
1) What is your budget?
Ans. 40,000 INR +-3K
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
Ans. 15" Only, not bigger, not any smaller as well
3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: HP, Dell, Sony
b. Dislike: Acer, HCL
4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
Ans. Mostly designing in 3D, using Auto CAD and Solidworks. Mild gaming as well, as low to mid settings.
5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
Ans. Screen type should be matte, allows for better sunlight viewing. Resolution, 1366x768 or above.
6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)
Ans. Local purchase only, not open to buying online. The base specifications I am looking for are -
Intel i5 3rd Gen
>4GB RAM (8GB Preferred)
A good GPU with 1GB VRAM
15.4" Screen
Should have good battery life
