Please give your opinion on this laptop I'm thinking about buying...

[Anonymous]

I am a Mech. Design Student studying with ACAD 2010, Inventor Pro and Solidworks. I'm looking to buy a new laptop, so I have that quintessential question :"What should I get??" After having looked at a multitude of laptops, here's what I've tentatively decided on:

Toshiba Satellite

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz, 3MB L2, 1066MHz FSB)

Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit

4GB DDR2 memory (2048MBx2)

250GB HDD (5400rpm, Serial-ATA)

ATI MOBILITY RADEON™ H4570 with 512MB DDR3 discrete graphics

Simply put: please tell ME what YOU think. Of course, being the warm-blooded tech geek I am, I'd love a souped up Sager, but reality always intrudes on our dreams, doesn't it?

You are kind of choking Win7-64bit with only 4Gig RAM: 6G or 8G better.

since you are obivously aware that bigger is better and basing my suggestion
& opinion off of a desktop model
4 gigs will get you by, but the more ram the better you will be.
