Hi, I am looking for a laptop to carry around school. I was thinking of getting an acer iconia w4 (win8 tablet) or buying an old MSI ge60 (i3 and gt650m..) (I had this laptop before)

I already have a powerful laptop (SAGER Np8268) but its too heavy for to always bring it to school (i am always commuting) . I am an architecture student, I dont mind if the laptop is kinda weak, I just want a portable laptop that can read small cad files. If you guys could suggest more that would be great.
 
You don't give a price range. If you can afford it, I'd suggest the Asus UX303LN. Dual core i5 or i7, 8 GB RAM, 13.3" 1080p or 3200x1600 screen, 256GB SSD (2.5" so you can swap it), nvidia 840m, 3.3 lbs, 7-10 hour battery life. Very portable (only 2 ounces heavier than a Macbook Air), but can still do decent 3D work. About $850 with the low end options.
