need help choosing a laptop to run Inventor 6. I will be working with 100 max.
part assembies. I'm looking for what to stay away from, and what has worked
well for others. Also RAM amounts, processor speed, and video card specs would
be great.

Brett,
An alternative to the M50 was the Inspiron 8200 -
I run one with a P41.6 Mhz, 1 Gig ddr ram, 30 gig hard drive, and GeForce 4 go
(64 meg).. It handles Inventor just fine. Actually I use it for presentations
of Inventor.
The Dell 8500 is now available which has a good
configuration (the most important is the graphic card with 64 megs of ram) -
although it is only several hundred dollars cheaper that the Dell M50 with a
Quadro 700 graphic card.
Stan

find it interesting that Autodesk would give you an IV computer running a
uncertified video card. I guess the IV video card certification page is kind
of a "do as we say, not as we do" statement.
