I have been looking around for a good laptop computer. I want to spend in the +/- 2000 range. I have looked around for about a week, both in Calgary stores and on the net. Right now i'm thinking about either a Toshiba Satellite A70-RT1 Pentium 4 2.8Hz or a Dell Inspiron 5160. they both are about the same. The dell is about $140 more but comes with Home office (which the Toshiba doesn't have) and a DVD burner that the Toshiba also doesn't have. The Toshiba has just a CD rite re rite with DVD readable only.

I will mainly use Autocad and a simple 3-D modeling program called Sketch-up on it.

Does anyone with more computer skills have a better suggestion for me?

Edit by the way, they are both in the 1700-1800 range.
