Hey guys, my dad needs to get a laptop for his employee, basically for CAD/CAM stuff, and the general office applications / browsing.

I have suggested this model from Dell, pls tell me if this would suffice??

For CAM good processing power will suffice to run tool paths. For CAD having a midrange card helps.
