Aznrsx, what do u consider heavy drafting? A lot of xrefs, blocks and lots of different layers?
For school its just a project where we have to design floor joists and roof systems

I would consider heavy drafting if there was 10-15 xrefs with each file being referenced around 500KB to 1MB with about 100+ layers. Also if you're doing a lot of 3D work.

Sounds like the work you'd be doing wouldn't take too many resources from your computer. There's a lot of laptops on the market that can handle what you want to do.
