The only reason to go interact at all with the people in the store is when you walk in and tell them "I want one of those." Don't buy anything they suggest, no PSP, no cables no batteries NOTHING, just go in and get what you've already researched and decided on at home.

Dont worry, I turned down everything they offered me. But they did bring up a valid point. While I'm getting a laptop for CAD, I'd rather buy something that does the job with ease, rather than something that just cuts it. (If that makes sense?)
As for requirements, I just googled the autocad 2010 requirements, as thats the latest version.
It requires 1.6ghz dual core, at least 1GB of ram. However it didnt say anything about a graphics card on the site.
So now I'm asking you guys for some suggestions on specific models
EDIT: If it helps, leaning towards a Toshiba.
Ideally I'd like:
-Dual core at least 2.0GHZ
-3+GB of ram
-250GB hard drive is plenty for me.
But its the damn graphics card that I know absolutely nothing about.
