    it will perform nicely in everyday apps, and it should considered fast by the average user.
    I'm not that sure about the CAD thing though, the proc is okay given it's a laptop proc, but the graphics card might need a little more oomph when you are handling complex models.

    Desktop processors are always faster than their mobile counterparts, so it will be about the same for rendering times and such.
