Hi!

I need help finding a laptop to use for school and most likely I'll be caring it 3x a week. I'm an Interior Design student and in need of a laptop that don't lag on me. Programs I use are: AutoCad (usually big drawings or I'm rendering 3D objects or an interior), the occasional photoshop, sketchup, the basic microsoft words.

One of my friends told me to get an i7 with 6GB+ Ram and high resolution. Another friend told me I can get away with a i5 with 4GB Ram and something 1300 resolution. Both said 15"

The thing is, I'm on a budget as I am paying my own tuition fee + student loan...so any Apple product is a no go for me. I need something under 700 tax included..I've been searching and can't seem to anything in that price..I'm trying to take advantage of Memory Express 25% (if I find a price lower then them)..

What I'm looking for is:

- A laptop that won't lag when I switch between programs
- Render fast while in 3D
- weight doesn't REALLY matter but under 6lb is ok for me
- As long as the program fits within the screen and doesn't cut half of it off, I'm happy.
- Low cost and long lasting!

Also, my friends told me to look into the Asus and Samsung brand
