Just want to ask fellow architect and architecture students, a friend of mine taking this programme in USM and she hunting for a laptop now.

Is it necessary for her to get like 7300go for study purpose?
Well from what she said, good graphics is needed.

I wonder, is it true?
I thought Intel GMA 950 will be enough provided big capacity of ram.

I don't have much knowledge of architecture as I only use autocad/catia/matlab......

if u have a lot of money, buy a laptop that have a high computational power such as Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile, a lot of memory (1 GB RAM minimun, 2GB RAM recommended), and a workstation class graphic processor such as Nvidia Quadro Go. Google to find such specification. You can start with "3D Workstation Laptop"

but if budget restriction do matter, a nvidia geforce go based laptop would be suffice enough, as long as it was powered by a high performance processor and supplanted with a lot of RAM rclxms.gif

for example of 3D workstation laptop

that would make big dent in ur wallet bcoz it's price was tagged at about RM 11462.60

intel GMA? if do 2D it is okay, but I do not recommend intel GMA for 3D application. By the way, if u inclined into budget conscious, 7300go is not bad, as it has 3D computational power but not a match for a workstation graphic processor.
