Get Inspiron 7447.. second hand i7 should be around 2600

oh, means you can stretch your budget until that. not really. acer is reliable than lenovo actually.. and acer still keep up with its reputation. as past many years, acer now not really the same with old acer. lots of changes.

how much do you think you can stretch ur budget?? how long will you gonna use the ACAD?

dont post here. go garage sales!

get the i5 and save money unless you really really need the speed

i7-5500U vs i5-6200U
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-5500...l-Core-i5-6200U

the i7 - U version is a joke man its the practically the same as i5, 2 Core with 4 Thread, its just marginally faster in speed, and has a label on your laptop which says i7 for siok sendiri only.

Now if it was the i7 with HQ version those are different class all together, 4 Core 8 Thread baby.
These are usually on more expensive laptops like gaming type.

dell 7559? seems good though.. think somemore

nakedtruth
U would like to know if AutoCAD takes advantage of multi threading, hyper threading and multiple processors.....

Some components in AutoCAD since release 14 do handle multi threading (for example, the AutoLISP interpreter is a thread). AutoCAD Release 14 itself is not a thread-safe application and not really a multi threaded application. For AutoCAD 2000 and later, releases do have some support for dual processors and hyper threading, but no more than two cores will be utilized. On dual-core processor systems, you will see significant increases in AutoCAD application performance, particularly for graphics and file I/O operations.

If u r using AutoCAD on a multi-processor system (i.e., more than two cores), umay see a slight performance improvement, but only as much as the operating system is taking advantage of the multiple processors.

An ARX application can make full use of multi threading as long as it is the only thread that communicates with AutoCAD . Again, this is because AutoCAD is not thread safe. Falling to do so will cause synchronization problems.

so, dual core still ok for AutoCAD

my budget max is 2500 not willing to go beyond that.
thx for the info.
since i5 is sufficient for me do you think the model i mentioned earlier is good enough or you have other recommendation?

thank you for the info
didnt really know how to compare it.
then i prefer save the money and get i5 instead.

thank you for the recommendation
but prefer new one with warranty...

try check this

HP Pavilion 14-ab111TX (i5-5200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV 940M, W10H)
Asus A555LF-XX135T A-Series 15.6" (i5-5200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV GT930, W10H)
Acer Aspire E5-574G-54DV 15.6" (i5-6200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV 920M, W10H)

I saw someone mention a Lenovo that fits your budget few days/week ago. Dont remember model.
But i was surprised by its value, it has i5, SSD and maybe GPU and FHD.
Getting an SSD inside is soo sweet, just use a usb external hdd for your movies

lenovo? i tot its acer

Acer Aspire E5-552G-F4DAr 15.6" FX-8800P, 4GB, 128GB SSD, AMD R8 M365DX, W10H

but not i5.

this price for amd is around rm2499

lenovo... gonna check

Vostro 5480 u ok? I got 1 old stock i7 going for 2600.. left in storeroom till i forget

I think a lot of people overestimate the hardware requirement of CAD or 3D modelling softwares, eg.sketchup, bender. Based on my usage actually a mid end i3 cpu and a mediocre gpu is enough to render at a good fps. Of course it is case to case basis but still, I find that even a few years old laptop can do most of my work smoothly.

Brand : MSI, Asus
Budget : rm 7k
Usage : Gaming, movie connect to 4k TV
Size : 17 inch
GPU : Nvidia
Remarks : SSD 256G, 16Gb RAM, HDMI/DP port need output 4k quality

Sifu, can help?

try check customised notebook;

Cyberforge S17EV (Clevo P670RE), i7-6700HQ, GTX980m(8GB), 15.6" FHD matte, 17.3" FHD matte 8GB DDR4, 1TB 7.2krpm, DOS, backlit KB, M2 PCIe slot, free 120GB SSD, killer wifi 1535

or Illegearillegear
Gigabyte/Auros

good contender of MSI / Asus + better customer service after sales

Thanks Sifu

so unlucky u.. how come get stolen? so pity eh.. notebook now also not cheap....

wan to try hp??
HP Pavilion 14-ab111TX (i5-5200U, 4GB, 1TB, NV 940M, W10H)

Asus K401UB-FR011T (i5-6200U, GT940m, 14" FHD) 4GB ram on board memory, 1TB, W10, 1.65kg, no ODD stretch sikit RM2599

if cny sales.. maybe cheaper and within your budget. try buy w/o free gift..usually cheaper...

that asus does not have optical drive. so, if you not really use odd, then its good for you. + comes with newer processor and decent low end gpu.

Need reco for a gaming laptop
Budget 3.6k-4k.
Usage dota2, csgo
Gpu Nvidia
Screen size 15"6

Thanks
