I'm going into college next year, and will need a laptop. The laptop has to be able to run CAD programs fairly well (lots of RAM).
I really have no clue where to start looking. It seems like there's so many places to start. After reading some of the topics here, it seems that Lenovo is one of the main contenders in the laptop picture. What would be the best bet for a laptop for me?
Things I'd perfer:
15.4" screen or less
< 7 lbs (I can deal with a fairly beefy laptop, I just don't want to feel like I'm carrying around a desktop with me!)
To be able to play World of Warcraft (is NOT a must)
< $1200 (I do have some leniency here)
Ethernet, and wireless
3+ USB ports
A good warranty
A fingerprint scanner (just to say that I have one. Damn they are cool!)
Thanks for any advice in my search.
