My friend is going off to college in the fall and needs a new laptop. She will be using Autocad quite a bit, and since I'm an IE and never used it myself, I don't know if it takes full advantage of quad cores.
So in her case, is it better to get an i7 620M or an i7 720QM? If Autocad can't fully utilize 4 cores, then I think the 620M would probably be better for her since it's higher clocked and runs cooler.
