help with laptop choice

[laxer368]

which computer do I want and why I'm pretty stubborn about wanting a 14' touchscreen 1500 is my cap and I am gonna be running some 3D software IE: AutoCad, Revit Solidworks possibly at the same time so heres the specs
(I want to find the best 14" touchscreen I can for my money)

kinda leaning towards the sony its a lil bit cheaper and both will have dual graphics with intel 4000 hd but is the difference in graphics cards going to be noticeable to me? Will autocad ever use a whole 2 gigs of the gpu ram? between the acer and the sony
Is there a 14' touchscreen with a real graphics card and 16 gig of ram? i cant find one

As far as I can tell its not cost effective or size weight prettyness ratio effective to build something like this but I am open to the possibility if some one can send some notebook building suggestions my way

this section is for building or buying new desktops, not laptops...

but to answer your question, the Acer is a better choice

The question is not 'is there a laptop that comes with 16GiB of ram", but is there a laptop I can easily add 16 GiB of ram too. Most manufacturers charge you way too much for them to put the ram in.

For example I purchased a Lenovo T530 last fall and bought it was 4GiB of ram. I then ordered 16GiB from Amazon and put it in myself. The Amazon cost was aroun $90 and the Lenovo cost was $980.

Not sure what you mean by real graphics card. No small laptop is going to have any decent graphics compared to a desktop. Really if you're that serious into what you're doing you want to find a laptop that has a quad core CPU. Those listed are dual core. As per what you want though, the Acer is a better buy.
