    Hello I want upgrade my old laptop. So I m watching the great number of new options. I use a lot of graphics and pictures. Like some times heavy graphic editors, Maya, photoshop. etc. Wich I hardly ever use in my actual laptop. In fact I love to have a tablet but it look that their too poor in graphics, but I don't know how much... so I may be forget the tablet... The fact is that I travel also a lot! so I don't really want to carry with something too heavy... The game I most use is the chessmaster... that runs in my actual laptop, but if I improve it may I find some games I like... even it is not a real priority.
    Can you recomend me something please?
    I was watching the Asus R1f but I discard it for the problems I read it has, and also for its unconfortable keyboard. And the review doesn't even show 3d marks...
    So I tried try to go to a lenovo 3000 v100 that have a lovely keyboard, and may be better graphics? but it doesn't look too much better anyway...
    I don't really mind the brand, how good graphic card do you think I'll need?
    Thanks

    Personally I would suggest a X1300/7300/X1400/7400 depending on how large your CAD models are.
