Hey Guys, Laptop Question...

Hello

My knowledge when it comes to laptops is a little waning, so I was wondering if any of you could help me out here a bit...

I'm interested in buying a new laptop thats around or under ~$1600. Nothing too fast or powerful, but I want it to be able to handle certain programs like Autocad 2004/2005, Photoshop, 3D Studio Vis./Bryce, and have wireless networking, and shouldnt run too slow when using these programs. What specifications would be handy for these programs?

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thankyou.

How about this for $1k? It should meet your needs with no problem at all. You will love the extra wide screen. Once you use it, you don't ever want to go back.

Those refurbished so best get a warranty as well.
