Son number 1 has now started work (hooray!) and needs a laptop with reasonable performance. I think a 13-14" would be OK as if serious drawing work was needed I would expect it to be connected to an external monitor. I use a 12.1" and it is acceptable. Windows 7 would be preferred but these are hens teeth.
Found these which look OK - does the team have any thoughts?

Thanks
