This one is better (in terms of performance) than both the ones you've mentioned:
14"
Dell Inspiron 14, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT620M@RM1599[2.1kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10; W7HB@RM1799

Thank you again. You did help me narrow down the models that suite my need & budget (actually buying for my friend) notworthy.gif

Hmm, did anybody here have experience with Intel HD4000 in running AutoCAD? will the Intel HD 4000 integated GPU suffice for very basic CAD work. This is for my friend. His work really doesn't related with those hardcore 3D drawing or design. maybe just need to do some reviewing before print it and submit to his boss. tongue.gif

If can save some cost, he can use the extra money to buy printer. hmm.gif

Yeah the Intel HD4000 would be enough for basic CAD jobs I guess hmm.gif
perhaps you should ask  your friend to Google abit more on this matter... I can't really help much since I'm not familiar with AutoCAD at all laugh.gif
