Hi sifus,
i need a laptop for autocad, matlab, labview, and heavy gaming but my budget only 1800 (as less as possible)
it doesn't matter come with os o not
is it e450 or e350 enough for me?
at the beginning i aim asus or acer apu a6
what i scare that this is my third laptop, so that i dont want waste too much money (spoiled and lost)
any brand recommand?

Not really laugh.gif
The E450 APU is not exactly very powerful for autocad etc. Its geared towards gaming.
Hmm, perhaps these? FreeDOS though, its more or less balanced in terms of CPU/GPU... good for the price you're paying nod.gif

HP Compaq CQ43-300TX, B950 + AMD HD6470M@RM1399, FreeDOS
Lenovo G470, B950 + AMD HD6370M@RM1299, FreeDOS
Asus A43Sj, Pentium B950 + Nvidia GT520M@RM1799, W7HP; FreeDOS@RM1499
pentium = celeron o atom hmm.gif
i very disappointed about nvidia entry card, it never provides better performance even run in lowest performance mode
b950 able to run ubuntu and virtual machine smoothly or not

What do you expect from a RM1.5k laptop o? Hardcore gaming one? laugh.gif
B950 shouldn't have any problems with Ubuntu...

t6600 don't have any problems with ubuntu but once i run virtual machine,........it f king lag
any model come with intel graphic with dos?
if 1. 5k laptop can't play heavy game, then i shouldn't consider entry level graphic
i'm confused about my requirements rclxub.gif

Well, the B950 is slightly better than the T6600 based on benchmarks here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Proces...ist.2436.0.html
Not sure about how it will fare in Virtual machine
The GT520m and AMD HD6370M are entry level cards bro...

You can't have the best of everything... either increase budget, or compromise on performance

Its up to you to decide laugh.gif brands don't really matter in most cases
Different ppl have different taste and preferences  nod.gif
Just go for the one that you like, extend the warranty if you're worry, and then take good care of the laptop  laugh.gif
