I've used a Lenovo for AutoCad for a long time but when I upgraded to a SS drive a couple of years ago I went for a Asus X556u, it's fast and runs quite and cool. The only feature missing that I wanted is back-lit keys but I don't work in the dark anyway. I HDMI port to a larger monitor screen.
The gaming laptops were not true SSD at the time (hybrids) and really heated up, plus heavy as a rock.
The AutoCad forums were full of issues attempting to run any kind of "overlay" operating system and Macs were the worst offenders.

I do not know the Dell line up but it sounds like they are steering you there, could be a good thing to run with the pack.
