Which laptop would you recommend for an architecture student?

Jessica

Next year I'll be a first year architecture student (yay!) and I'm looking to buy a laptop before I start college. I know I will hardly even use Auto CAD other programs for the first year, but I will for the next four years. I don't know any of the specifications for the architecture program, but I do know that I need something with LOTS of memory and is pretty quick. I'm naturally leaning towards a Mac book Pro, but I'd really appreciate some insight! Thanks!

Answer
these gaming laptops are GREAT for graphics and heavy content(flash, heavy graphics, HD videos etc)

I guess you can go for that one, it's really great!

I'm considering a dell alienware. (is that good?) but i would love something that goes under 1200 dollars?

Hello!
I don't like Alienware because it's overpriced and the computers look bad. You could get the same performance with a low priced by buying a good high-end laptop.

For architecture, you require to render a lot of projects and for that you'll need:
- 8 GB RAM or more
- A good dedicated Graphics Card
- A Decent processor (ex: Intel Core i5 or i7)

I recommend:
Lenovo IdeaPad Y580:
- Has a 3rd-gen Intel Core i7 Quad Core CPU
- Has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX660M 2GB Mobile Dedicated Graphics Card
- 8 GB or 12 GB RAM
- Low priced

Asus G75VW:
- Intel Core i7 Quad Core COPU
- 16 GB RAM
- 17.3" HD Screen
- nVidia GTX660 2GB Dedicatd Mobile Grpahics
- A little over $1200
