Functionality vs Power

[Rasbutin]

Hey Guys

 

I'm buying a new computer this month. I just got paid 500$, and I get another 500$ in a few weeks. 

 

I've been looking on craigslist and can't make up my mind. 

 

My currrent Set-up is bad. 

Centrino

2gb

80g HD

 

its a mobile workstation form 2009 so it has good graphics. Radeon ATI x1600

 

Anyways THE BIG QUESTION

 

I'm about to be a Senior in High school. I do research at the University though and bring my laptop everywhere. 

I also enjoy gaming. Nothing to major, just some league of legends. But the occasional battle field and titan fall on medium or low would be nice. 

 

I need power. I useSolidworks and inventor and multitask non stop.

 

But i would like somthing small as well. 

 

I'm tied.

 

Should I be very worried about getting an i7 and descreat graphics?

 

Or focus more on portablity, style

My conclusion is, you dont need more than $1000. In fact, you shouldn't be have to buy more than $500.
