How often should i get a new laptop/notebook ?

best laptops for architecture student image

OJ

I currently have a HP dv5000, (bought new 6/06)
120gb hd (minus the 12gb needed for the recovery partition)2gigs of RAM
AMD Turion64 Mobile 1.99GHz
Windows XP
Im a 2nd year architecture student and have to run some demanding programs such a AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, adobe indesign, illustrator, photoshop(the adobes arent that demanding tho) plus programs i havent encountered yet. I was planning/hoping to get a new one (probably a macbook pro) in the summer of 08, when my current laptop becomes 2 years old.
i think it would be kinda hard to carry a desktop computer and monitor from class to my room everyday.

Answer

I need a laptop that is fast, goood graphics and a good soundcard. I run autocad and 3max and for music Fl studio. I know macs are the best but i am afraid running parallels will ruin everything, the programs work only om windows :(

They're the best laptops out right now that aren't fully rugged and don't have a super long better life.
