I have an HP with duel core 64 bit processor, 4 gB ram and it came with a
stock 128 Mb graphics card in it. It seems to work fine but is not the fastest
with the software. If you go to the official HP website, I can see a bunch of
computers in the “high performance” category that have even larger graphics
cards in them.
As a rule of thumb, a $300.00 laptop will likely not cut it for the software,
but $600.00+ laptop likely will work (I would still look at specs for the
computers to make sure that there is a graphics card in it, but this is one of
those areas where you sort of get what you pay for).
If you need any more help, I’m sure there’s a bunch of people who would be
willing to send you some links to models that meet the requirements and are
still reasonable on cost.

Steven,
I use a Dell Inspiron 1750 Intel Core(TM)2 Duo CPU with 4 GB Ram, 64 bit
Operating System, running Windows Vista Home Premium. Not Sure the Video Card
but
Autodesk Inventor 11 runs fine on my 2009 machine
This is probably a low to middle of the road laptop at this time.
Regards,
Matt Rhoades
If you're at class tomorrow, I can talk over the system requirements more with
you.

I can help here, he important thing about the autodesk software is that you
have what is called discrete graphics, and the funky thing there is that all
intel i 3 5 and 7 processors have that, even thought they well... Don't. Yea it
us confusing here is what I would suggest: get a laptop with the following 1)
an nvidia card or an ati card (it is quite a selling point expect not to miss
this) 2) an intel i3 330m processor or better or 3) a mac (if that is just what
you want, frankly a Mac will just work, but that is certainly not to say that
you should just spend 1.5 k on a MacBook)
I suggest taking a look at the Dell outlet and dealigg.com<http://dealigg.com>
where you can find hidden coupons and rebates. And make sure that the laptop is
more powerful than what you need because as much as saving a hundred $ is great
it is well worth it in 3 years when x program is suddenly requireing more CPU
than you originalt thought it would.

My family is in the market for a new laptop. I want to get one that has the
needed power to run the autodesk software. I am able to find everything except
for the special graphics card listed on the webste. How important is this card?

I would imagine that the CAD class will be offered every year. Even if you’ve
taken it in the past it’s a great refresher. The CAD process is also such a
huge part of the design process that it would be hard to design a robot without
it.
