laptop purchase - what features?

[Zanna91]

Hello everyone, they are next to buying a laptop for using autocad and vectorworks. I'll use it for the school so I don't have a lot of money to spend (I'm looking for used models). what are the features to look for not having any problem in the future with the operation of 2 programs?

Thank you in advance!

Hi.
I can't answer for autocad.
for vectorworks I recommend you to start with a lot of ram. for the rest, vw2014 turns great on my old macbook pro late 2008, so I imagine that on any newer computer do the same.
I do.

will serve a discreet processor, say an i5 intel, at least 4 gb of ram (8 gb even better) and a decent video card (avoid the integrated). Make sure that it is not an ultra-portable model with only hard disk ssd too small.
for the rest post the model and tab of the models you feel most interesting and you will be offered opinions.
p.
clarify well what type of models you do (2d or 3d) and how big, if you make etc. pictures of example would be useful.
