I need help again. I swear this will be my last thread
Today I went laptop shopping since all the xmas sales are starting up. Some of the prices were pretty good, a little over my budget but I decided to bite the bullet anyway. I went to bestbuy, then to london drugs, then to future shop, then back to bestbuy and had decided on a Toshiba Satellite.
It was a dual core, 2.1ghz, 4GB of ram and a 400GB hard drive. All of that for $529 I thought I was getting the best deal evar..
However when I told the guys at best buy I was using it for autocad and they went
"OOoohh.. this might not run it that well because its got an integrated graphics card, not dedicated." ...... Great...
From my other thread some of you guys were saying that if my drawings are just line drawings (which for the most part, they are) then it shouldn't really matter. But I thought about it, and the further I get into this course, the more I'll probably need my laptop. So I might as well get something decent/somewhat powerful while I'm at it.
So now I'm pretty much back at square one. I know next to nothing about computers (especially graphics cards). After talking with sales reps I'm probably looking at spending around $800 or so after tax..
What should I be looking for in terms of graphics cards?
Specific laptop model suggestions would be awesome too
Sorry I know I'm noob
