12'' isn't really can get much power and AutoCAD on 12'', painful for eyes.
12.1'' and less for <3k is around hp dv2, compaq cq20, acer 2930, culv notebook, and netbook. better consider dell studio 15, good after sales, good performance for the price, or benq s42, better spec, still under 3k. |

culv notebook is almost like netbook size, but using intel SU-series processor, which is basically underclocked and undervolted core 2 duo.
which performance wise, its between atom and regular core 2 duo. example, which under 12'' is acer 1410T, acer 1810T, hp dm1, dell 11z, asus ul20a. These are around 1.5kg and give around 5++ hours battery life, for AutoCAD, better get the one with su4100 or su7300, these are dual core, much better performance for multitasking. else, stick with regular notebook, which should be around 2kg, acer 2930, compaq cq20. all those still under 3k.

ah, forgotten acer ferrari one, yeah this one should have better overall performance, battery life around 2-4 hours.
hp dv2 as well too, but its run quite hot and battery life is not that good. the one I suggested all is using intel gma 4500mhd, which less performance but less heat. acer ferrari one get my pick if not needed 6++ hours of battery life.

sufficiently not so sure, slower yeah. also depends how complex the project is.
but you got not much choice for 12'' and below. most of them is intel gma 4500mhd, except dv2 comes with ati 3410, ferrari one comes with hd3200. well, they are more meant for browsing, office, and such. not really for powerful job. but again, your choice will really be limited. best gpu on 12'' would be dv2, but the processor still lacking power. cpu wise, su4100, su7300 might be better, but these usually paired with intel gma4500mhd.

well, to be on the safe side, more graphic power is better.
in autocad, rendering is done by cpu, but the environment, e.g. rotating, is done by gpu. since if cpu not enough, its might be longer time to finish the job. but if gpu couldn't run it, then can't get the job done. either way, can't really hope too much in these kind of machine.

QUOTE(d(@@)b @ Nov 19 2009, 09:19 AM) Looking for a mid range gaming laptop with good battery life and portability. can't realy hope mid range gaming with good battery life,brand: anything budget: RM 3-4k my current option is: HP dm3-1031tx - intel core 2 duo SP9300 (2.26 Ghz, 6mb cache, 1066 FSB) - 3GB DDR3 ram - NVIDIA G105M 512MB DDR3 - ?1.6 kg?, 13.3" diagonal - cost: RM3499 1) i can't find any review on dm3-1031tx using google. is this a new model/ unpopular model? 2) the seller claimed it has up to 10 hours battery life. anyone wanted to clarify this? 3) Can G105M support GTA4? do i need to set the graphic to low? 4) Is the price appropriate for its specs? 5) Are there any other options available? try BenQ s42 for 3k. Hybrid graphic card nvidia 9600M GT & intel gma 4500mhd, if still want to retain some battery life and portability. @astria, sp9300 is not exactly culv anymore... |

4810TZ, for normal usage is fine, but not really can multitask alot, since you are sacrificing performance for better battery life.
as quoted from k50ab thread, it even can play Crysis at Mainstream/ Medium detail at 1280x720 or 1280x768 after some tweaking  but not sure pes2010, never played before. better ask the user here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1194684 |

well, can say benq s57 might perform better if everything run on default, since benq s57 runs on 1366x768 while sxps 16 runs at 1920x1080.
alternatives with similar spec is... sager np2098, doubt you can find it, next is lenovo y550, p8700 and nvidia gt240m for around rm 3.9k. else, for less performance, vaio CW16 with p8700, gt230m; lenovo y450 with p8700, gt130m; benq s42 with p8700, nvidia 9600m gt. |
