Dear All

I am going to buy laptop for working mostly for meshing in ICEM CFD and ANSYS meshing and post processing.

Also I shall be preparing the tutorials and training on Fluent, CFX, ICEPACK and similar codes in ANSYS suit of softwares. But these CFD simulations shall be limited to representative problems and would not exceed 1.5 million nodes and may be few hour simulation for demonstration purpose.

After recommendation and home work in local market I have finalized these specs :

1. Dell inspiron n5110 Ci5, 2410M, 1 GB graphics card, 8 GM RAM, 500 GB hard disk, 600 USD
2. Dell inspiron n5110 Ci7, 2630M, 1 GB graphics card, 8 GB RAM, 750 GM hard disk, 730 USD
3. HP pro book with specs at para 1.

What do you recommend from these or any thing else, you think better than one shown above. Also write down some pros and cons for decision making.

Thankyou.
