School Laptop for Drafting

[OCXenox]

Hey there!

 

I am looking for a laptop for my sister. She turns 16 and attends a school for architecture. So she will be using CAD Programs and some other 3D software. So now my question: do these programs profit of multi threading(i7?) or is a good external GPU more important(960/70m?)?

 

And if u have some good suggestion another important point is that it will need to be handy so she can carry it to school and back easily(light,reasonable sized).

 

PS: Bugget is around 800€

A good CPU is definitely more important, but those tend to come with better GPUs. May I suggest the Dell Inspiron? Got a 6700HQ (best current non-insane laptop CPU) and a 960m

I would look at this Inspiron if you need something a good GPU that isn't insane

I'd go for the i7 model, especially for this use case, and the 960m isn't half bad m8

yeah, there nout else from dell that's similar spec that isn't thick end of £1000 (soo roughly $1200)
