Recommendations
If you are interested in purchasing either a notebook or desktop computer, we can highly recommend Scorptec computers in Melbourne. Many of our Australian customers have purchased from them and so have we. They sell a range of gaming notebooks which are ideal for CAD work. Stay away from corporate notebook brands like Acer, HP, Toshiba, etc as they do not offer the video card which you require for 3D and CAD rendering. For a CAD computer you should have min: 12Gb RAM, i7 processor, and a nVidia 960m graphics card (or higher).
Scorptec sell online and stock MSI, Asus, GigaByte and a few other brands. You should be able to find something in the $1,800-$2,800 price range for using RhinoGold. Their site includes sections for Gaming Notebooks and Gaming PC’s.
