    Default New laptop for the Building Design Suite

    Hey.

    I am looking to buy a new laptop in January 2014 that will be predominantly used by Revit, but also AutoCAD, 3ds Max and possibly 360.
    Any recommendations on type of processor and graphics card, along with manufacturer type and also whether I should get Windows 7 or 8? My Revit models vary but wouldn't go much beyond 120mb in size.

    I would highly appreciate your advice on this, and please ask me any further questions if needed.

    Ta!!

    To add to it...the latest i7 processor under the Extreme is a good choice and try to get at least 12 or 16gb of Ram... video card you want something other than integrated. If its a Quadro that is a plus else a GTXm card will work too even though its not on the supported list.

    Thanks cdatechguy. I heard before that the RAM, processor and graphics card were the holy trinity in what to look out for most, so it seems by your post that that remains true.
