if you are running ACAD Apple is never a "go" anyways.
Sure OSX supports AutoCAD already, but a lot of plug-ins are still PC Exclusive, and it will most likely remain that way.

Get an Asus for sure - their pricing is really good for the price matching the specs.
Samsung is going down the road that apple is - all show but no bang for your buck.

I'd get something that runs Windows 7, and has as much ram as you can find, along with an i7, third gen if possible.
ACAD is a beast of a powerhog.

one last tip: ACAD generally runs a LOT better on Intel machines. AMD chips just don't cut it
