i have the dillema whether i sould buy a notebook in a low price i have found it (250 euros) on or a new laptop (600 euros).

In both cases the specs are intel core i5 processor and 8GB RAM.
The only difference between them are the hard drive (which i can improve it in the notebook case). And i dont really mind about the screen size difference!

Is notebook powerful enough to cover my needs of running softwares like autocad and arcgis ?

What do you suggest i should prefer??
 
It probably depends on the exact i5 processors involved in each. There's what, 7 or 8 generations of i5s? The capabilities vary between models/generations.

And for what it's worth, a notebook is the same as a laptop. just 2 different words for the same thing. :D
