14" laptop needed, confused over brands.

Actually she preferred a mini portable one but I suggested her to go for a 14" as I thought the performance of 11" ones are too low and lacks other features like optical drive etc. Is it worth to go a for a mini notebook if the processing performance is not that important? The maximum she's going to do with that may be some CAD or other design works as she is an EEE student.That chances are also less as she is going to join TCS.Will it be convenient to use office applications and presentations in a 11" one? The model in my mind is Inspiron M101z.

Well, by performance, HP Pavilion dm1z 11.6" is better than other 11 inchers as far as the reviewers say. Dell is good and their A.S.S. is the best (Dell's complete cover policy). Or you can visit the sites of Dell and Lenovo and watch their upcoming product list which may interest you.
