Slimline light weight laptop for AutoCAD & Adobe use & Dialux

[joyanyokler]

I have a chunky laptop that is about 2cm thick and 16” screen with a FAT charger. It weighs a ton and doesn’t fit into my bags properly and i basically hate it. It is a new laptop that my work gave me so i want to find something else that is smaller in screen size (i can deal with that) and then just lighter and still powerful for these design bits. Any recommendations? Do I need a dedicated GPU for this, my AutoCAD use is mostly for lighting Design.

Sure, why not, most of us do: all you have to ensure is you meet the 'recommended' system requirements instead of the minimums without waffling on any part of it of course
