HI EVERY ONE, RECENTLY I SOLD MY MACBOOK WHITE LATE 2009 (I THINK) AND I'M LOOKING FOR A PC NOTEBOOK/ULTRABOOK BECAUSE I WORK NOW WITH RHINOCEROS 3D AND AS YOU MIGHT KNOW MAC VERSION OF RHINO SUCKS

I BOUGHT A QOSMIO X875-Q7380 BUT IS TOO HEAVY TO CARRY AROUND BETWEEN MY OFFICE AND MY HOME.

I'M THINKING ABOUT BUYNG AN ACER V3-551-8469 ($400) (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4977874&csid=_61) OR A LENOVO IDEAPAD S405 ($480) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AEPHH8/ref=gno_cart_title_1)

MY BUDGET'S AROUND THAT.

I NEED TO BUY THIS THING QUICKLY BECAUSE I'M OUT OF NOTEBOOK IN MY OFFICE, SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING IT TOMORROW MORNING.

I NEED YOU GUYS TO PLZ HELP ME DECIDING WICH ONE TO BUY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A BAD MOVE HERE.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND SORRY FOR THE UGLY ENGLISH Sad

For business? Can you get by with Windows 8?
by Former Forum moderator Dec 16, 2012 1:02PM PST

Some folk have application issues (old versions of Office, etc.) but to easy the pain I strongly suggest you add Start 8 or such.

I have a simple model that has the dual core version of that AMD and it's really fine. While I prefer the i5 or better we needed a demo laptop for our new app and went AMD for the price. Your selections are better.

As to RHINO I again get the i5 when I'm getting a machine for the developers as we pay by the hour.

A Yugo can run smooth.

Sorry but it's a budget machine so it can only be what it is.

My comments above was to help you see that the other maker's stuff is fine. It may have you wait a bit more than a faster machine, but there is a budget.
