I am going to study civil engineering next year and was wondering which laptop would be best for running programs related to civil engineering like auto-cad. I would also like it if I were able to play some games such as Assassins Creed, however I am not really into games but still, it wouldnt hurt.
My budget is around 1700 dollars and i would really appreciate any tips as I am new to all of this, especially laptops this being my first.
Thanks.
