Laptop for product design/industrial design

Hello :smile:

I've applied for a mixture of product design and industrial design and I know these rely a lot on computer work for CAD etc. Does anyone, preferably with more ICT literate than me know what kind of spec laptop I need to look at, like graphics cards and stuff like that? I've been looking at the new Dell Inspiron, any ideas?

Thanks,

What programs will you be using?
From what I know CAD programs don't run on Mac's (not without some trickery).

In terms of specifications, you'll probably be looking at a 2 - 3GHz Dual core, 4 - 6 GB of RAM, and 500GB upwards for a hard drive.

I'm guessing that you'll be looking to spend £400 - £700.

I may be way off, but this is what I was looking at when I brought my computer.

HP Pavilion DV6-3141ea

Edit: This looks pretty good HP Pavilion DV6-6B07EA, this looks pretty decent. And Save On Laptops are pretty good.
