Small laptop graphic card - AMD 6630m

Hi

I`m about to bye a new portable computer to replace my current workstation.

 

Has anyone had any luck with graphic cards like:

AMD Radeon HD 6630M 1Gb/ Intel HD Graphics 3000

or

AMD RADEON HD 6470M 1GB

 

I cant seem to find a smal laptop (max 14") with Nvidia Quadro or AMD Fire pro.

 

We currently work in Inventor 2010 but we are going to uppgrade in some time.

I do models and drawings with up to 5000 components. No rendering i studio.

 

All answers are helpfull. Thank you

Steer as far away from the Radeon line as you can if you are using Inventor.  If you cannot find a QuadroFX or FireGL mobile card, you can consider a capable GeForce M card with a WHQL certified driver.

Can Invertor start and run wit them?

What is goig slower?

What kid of prolem is there?

 

Its really annoying that there are no smal & light 13" or 14" laptops with decent graphics card.

 

This is the smalest one i have found with wthat I think is a good graphic card?

A Radeon card will crash Inventor.  It is not certified for use and is a video game card, not a CAD card.  The old joke is ATI stands for 'Always Trashes Inventor.'

 

The HP machine will be fine.  Anything that has a workstation class video card is likely going to at least have a 15.6" screen.  They aren't going to put a big card into a machine with a small screen that cannot fully show off the capabilities of the card.  If you want to use Inventor on a laptop, you definitely need to be looking at a workstation class card like nVidia Quadro with as much RAM as you can get.

Check out the HP Elitebook 8460w - this is a 14-inch mobile workstation sporting the AMD FirePro M3900 which is certified for Autodesk applications. Currently available in US and Canada. We have a promo SKU XU097UT#ABA that includes 8GB memory,  500GB HDD and Win 7 Pro 64.
