New laptop?

[akate]

I didn't know where to post it, so I posted it here.
I need a new laptop, so I was thinking I would get a Dell XPS.
What I want to know is, how much HDD, RAM and GB on the graphics/video card would I need? For all the EPs and SPs.
Without changing the laptop, it has:
Windows 7, 64-bit
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 420M graphics (with WIDI)
Up to 750GB8 hard drive (7200RPM)
I don't really know what any of it means, except for the GB parts
Also, I want the game and the computer to run smoothly, I may need to put CAD on it, if you don't know what it is, it takes up quite a bit of memory (I'm not exactly sure how much).
I know PC's are better, but I need a laptop for other work
Thank you if you can help!

Based on my limited knowledge of laptops (comparing it to mine for a reference point), I think that should be fine with what's on the laptop.

My laptop is:
Toshiba Satellite - A505-S6986
Windows 7, 64-bit
4 GB DDR3 RAM
~2.8 GB NVIDIA Geforce GT 230M graphics
400 GB Hard drive

Basically what all of that is, using the laptop you posted:
Dell XPS <--- Model of the laptop
Windows 7, 64-bit <--- Operating System
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM <--- the amount of memory your computer has for doing stuff.
750GB hard drive <--- how much space it has for storing stuff (like all of the CC you'll probably get )
1 GB NVIDIA GeForce 420 M graphics <--- the video card. I'm not too good at them, but the GB number by that is equivalent to the RAM. Without that number, it would eat at your computer's RAM to render all of the pretty CC you'll probably get. This video card does at least seem to have gaming in mind since it has dedicated memory (aka RAM).

I've got a fair amount of stuff on my laptop's TS2 (all EP's) and I'm sitting at 75 GB used. So unless you go super crazy on CC downloading and neighborhoods, you should be fine with that one.
