Hi,

Im buying a laptop for interior design work. I need something that can run Max CAD smooth and fast, and cost under $2000. Im a beginner with Max but will spend hours a day try to learn. Just wanna ask you guys which one of these comp should i buy. Or are there any better options??

1) Clevo X7200 for $1,949.00
at rjtech.com
Core i7-960 3.20Ghz 8Mb Cache, 4 Cores
nVidia GTX 560M 1.58G GDDR5 -without express card slot-(what this mean btw)
12GB DDR/1333 Triple Channel mode - 3 DIMMs
Crucial m4 128GB MLC SSD SATAIII
OEM 802.11 BGN wireless LAN
No OS

2) Asus G74SX-XR1 for $1,614.00
at pro-star.com
Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor, 2.2 GHz (Max Turbo Frequency 3.1GHz), 6MB Smart Cache
16GB, PC3-10600/1333Mhz DDR3 - 4 x 4GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M w/3GB GDDR5
128GB Crucial M4 SATA III Solid State Drive
750GB/7200rpm 16MB Cache Buffer SATA-300 (SATA II 3GB/s)
Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit

What Im thinking is, if i go for the Clevo i will get a better CPU with more rooms to upgrade in the future. With the Asus i will spend less money and get full build. Not sure if the Asus has enough power to handle the works.

Cheers
