Hi Anu,
In laptops, don't buy any thing below i7 and 8gb ram and 2gb graphic card, if possible customize it and add extra 8gb and make it 16 gb ram and add an external graphic card while doing high resolution renderings.
If you are looking for specific brands, here are few which I can suggest u (I am considering only the high end models in this brands ):
1. Alienware ( although the price will be above 1.5 lacs I will still suggest it, it is the best one in the market which can take that extra load of an architect. Its a bit heavy in weight but believe me its the best to do you're heavy drawings, you don't have to shut it for days :no prob

Hi Anu,
In laptops, don't buy any thing below i7 and 8gb ram and 2gb graphic card, if possible customize it and add extra 8gb and make it 16 gb ram and add an external graphic card while doing high resolution renderings.
If you are looking for specific brands, here are few which I can suggest u (I am considering only the high end models in this brands ):
1. Alienware ( although the price will be above 1.5 lacs I will still suggest it, it is the best one in the market which can take that extra load of an architect. Its a bit heavy in weight but believe me its the best to do you're heavy drawings, you don't have to shut it for days :no problem or heating issues : not at all, graphics output : best in the market , you can do heavy drafting work in auto cad, high resolution max rendering in backgrounds, high resolution walk through in luminous in backgrounds, presentations in PS all at same time without any lag. Music system : awesome. Trust me your second love after architecture will be this laptop
2. Macbook pro ( this will be the second best option after alien ware, comes around 1lakhs ,every thing is just fine, u won't feel any lag in doing multitasking in rendering works , great battery backup and sound system )
3. Lenevo y series or z series ( the third and last option for u, comes around 70 k, z series was far better then y series but they are not available these days, so u can go for the higher models in y series , can take really heavy load , graphic is awesone ,4hrs of battery backup , jbl sound system , if you don't have a budget for above two go for this, u won't regret )
4. This one is most important . Do not buy any laptop other than ones mentioned above if you don't want to take extra load other than u'r submissions and deadlines.
Did I mention, don't forget to buy an ADP warranty with it (if possible buy an extended one), we architects definitely need it, u never know when r u going to sleep on u r laptop after u'r endless submissions and sleepless nights.
All the best for your new gadget.
Hope this helps. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
Wish you Luck!
