Well...I though I had found a low cost ultra-portable...until further internet searching turned up this guy's review I guess I'll wait for Averatec to work out the issues. I can wait until after the holidays when all price come down.

I had a hunch the "old math co-processor might ring a bell as you and I seem share similar some similar engineering type properties I use Autocad at home for various projects related to my hobbies and home business and my little cheap 4 yr old lap top runs Autocad just as seamlessly as my computer at my engineering "day" job. I kind of doubt it would do very well if I was trying to work with huge complex 3d assemblies, but until I am modeling a complete commercial airliner, I don't think I will need to worry about it
