Looking for a Workstation Laptop

[reisertj]

I am on my way to college this Fall for Aerospace Engineering and I am having a hard time trying to find a decently priced laptop (around or below $1300) that can comfortably run Autodesk software (system requirements: http://usa.autodesk.com/revit/system-requirements/ ). So if any of you out there can help steer me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!

Shoot for a high end Dell Latitude. Although if you want a real laptop workstation, look into the Dell Precision. New ones are pretty $$$$, but you could try and find a leased one from Dell Financial on eBay for a decent price (look for the Precision M4300 or M6300).

Lenovo thinkpads are rated best as workstations...try ThinkPad W520

You could look at the Lenovo Thinkpad W520.

Note: your configuration should include, at very minimum, the 1600x900-resolution display. If you take the dual-core base model, upgrade the display from 1366x768.

Personally I would say get a Precision or the W520. I would lean more towards the Precision. I use a M90 daily (should have sprung a little more for the M6300) and I do not have any complaints. They can take a fall onto tile floor, and never give a fuss about operating. Runs a bit hot, but eh, for a 17.3" laptop with a 7900m GTX that is to be expected.
