Since you are using autocad and CATIA, I suggest that your laptop must have dedicated graphic card and at least of 2GB RAM to run.If you top up another RM 1000, then you can buy BENQ S42 since it come withP8700 processor,4GB ram and 256 MB of 9600MGT DDR3 graphic card.Besides, it is more future proof.

You need a quadro GC laptop for engineering work. I have tried those 3d engineering software and standard GC laptop cannot handle the task. It will keep on shutdown your program. Some my friend have this problem also. So they can do simple and not so heavy job only.
My recommend is DELL precision model laptop. ( I m using one) |

QUOTE(class_sick @ Jan 23 2009, 01:03 PM) i want to ask ur opinion on what laptop should i buy. Here is my dua sen:-im looking for laptop dat suitable for me to use in engineering field. dat latop should be can running smoothly for (software) -catia -solid work -auto cad -eagle -photoshop -visual basic *if hav serial port is quite good my budget for this laptop is about RM2200.i`ll spend another RM200-RM300 for the extended warranty. my option: 1. at pcdepot ipoh,they sell Asus X50GL-AP160 = RM2199 Nvidia GeForce 8200MG - shared up to 895MB 15.4" Wide Screen WXGA LCD Screen any suggestion?  thanks ======================================== Looks like you're planning to use for serious work, and the GeForce 8200MG is definitely not for you. A good GPU optimized for OpenGL would be NVIDIA Quadro or ATI Fire GL. Example lowyatguy sold XPS laptop because its GeForce 8600M GT GPU couldn’t handle the job. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=857208&hl= The GeForce 8200 MG on the Asus is a Tier 3 GPU below the GeForce 8600M GT  ======================================== Get bigger size or higher pixel count screen - 17" WUXGA or 17" WSXGA  Your eyes will thank you  ======================================== Extended warranty, should you buy an extended warranty? IMHO and this is strictly me personal opinion, extended warranty is not worth the money. Save the money for a new notebook because by the time your notebook breaks down it's time for a new laptop. Manufacturers warranty should cover your losses for the immediate term. If a new laptop is going to break it will usually fail during the 1st year. |
