Best notebook for me!

Helly guys!

I have US$1.300, and I want to know wich notebook is the best for me!
I pretend to use Photoshop, 3dsmax and AutoCAD.

Thanks for your time!

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like those MacBooks are quite fit enough for 3DSMax and AutoCAD. They have good CPUs and RAM, but they have a slow hard drive (5400 RPM) and run integrated graphics. Like, it'll still /work/, but you'll be rendering really slowly, and in AutoCAD, trying to rotate a view will look like a slideshow.

Apparently the Gateway P-6831FX sometimes drops that low in price, and it has a powerful graphics card, but in return, it has a slower CPU and a crappier screen...

The New York State Society of Professional Engineers, which as you might expect has a few CAD users, has a partnership deal with Pro-Star.

I have a bit older version of the 5729-3A with a few tweaks ....the screen is simply incredible.
