So, to avoid troubles one will need to gather information than going into a shop and wanders for hours. The first question you should probably ask before anything else is “what is my budget and what is it needed for majority of the time?” Let’s said you are buying a laptop and it is uses for operating AutoCAD 2011 and you have five hundreds to a thousand dollars in pocket. The first you SHOULD do is to check what the minimum requirements of AutoCAD 2011 version are.

As a minimum, you need 2 GB RAM and huge free space for installation so, for good, choose a PC with 4 GB RAM and 500 GB hard drive space.

Since many projects in AutoCAD get complicated and condense, it is prefer to have a larger screen about up to 17 inches.
