Hi,
>> The system requirements say that the basic processor
>> speed should be around 2.5ghz. This one is 1.6ghz with
>> turboboost up to 3.4ghz.
The cpu speed with "up to 3.4GHz" is not the problem when you look to the "minimum system requirements"
>> primary use is for engineering drawing/graphics
Sorry that I don't have an idea about what you see as "engineering drawings". That can be simple 2D drawings or complex 3D drawings.
>> the model I m referring to
What I'm missing in the computer specs you showed is a graphic card that is build to work with CAD-systems.
The Intel HD graphics is not a gc for CAD; you might do some small 2D drawings, but neither the performance nor the driver compatibility is the best to be used with CAD systems.
When this computer should be used 8 hours a day to work with CAD then I would say no, that is not a valid device to do that work. But again, that depends on drawing types you create as well as how important and how often will AutoCAD be used on that system.
