[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1041407, member: 555251"] RA2 kicks ***. Welcome to a serious tech school - they want you to have something that will still run CAD programs and advanced math stuff four years from now... Just avoid any Dell machine built on the larger chassis if portability is a concern...I have an XPS, and "laptop" is a misnomer. It should be marketed as a "portable desktop". As in, you can pack it in a briefcase, and it'll run on a battery - for about a minute or two. And it's as loud as a desktop. And weighs 9 and a half pounds.
