Laptop ACAD usage questions

I currently have an Inspiron 9100 3.2Mhz, 1gig ram, 64mb video, 7200rpm drive etc... it runns ACAD LandDesktop pretty darn good. I may have to replace this laptop and I'm concerned with a potential decrease in performance if I purchase a newer laptop. Is this the case?
 
Can anyone who uses ACAD on a laptop give me some feedback?
 
Thank you.
 
Ian

    My fathers beefed up E1505 can run ACAD at an amazing rate.

    It's got the following:

    Intel® Core™ Duo Proc T2400 (1.83GHz/667MHz/2 X 1MB L2 Cache)

    15.4 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen SXGA+ Display with TrueLife™ ( not that this matters much )

    1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz, 2 Dimm

    60GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive

    128MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1300 HyperMemory™ (atleast which i think it might actually be a different card)

    Ian,

    The Inspiron 9100 uses a desktop processor, while all our latest models use Pentium M processors. The Pentium M processors are much more efficient, providing the same or even better processing power at lower clock speeds.

    As long as you match or better the rest of your system (RAM, Video Card), you should see similar or better performance from a new system.

    The Inspiron E1505 and E1705 should be able to more than match your present system.
