I have a friend looking for a new laptop. He doesn't have an old one, so he cant just revamp it with a new hard drive, ram, etc.

Budget: Max at $700

Platform: Windows

Usage: No photoshop, No gaming, basic use all-purpose laptop. Microsoft word, excel, and general internet browsing. Nothing heavy. He might need to install and use AutoCAD (an engineering program)
AutoCAD system requirements: Link to AutoCAD System Reqs -- I think that means he'll need 8gb ram, at a minimum

Thanks for your help!

My recommendation is this: ASUS ZenBook UX330UA-AH54

Specs:
13.3-Inch wide-view Full-HD Display with Windows 10 Pre-installed
Latest 7th generation Intel i5-7200U 2.5 GHz Processor (Turbo to 3.1 GHz)
Fast storage and memory featuring 256GB SSD with 8GB DDR3 RAM
Extensive connectivity with HDMI/D-SUB/USB Type C, 802.11a/c WiFi, and SD Card Reader
Sleek and light weight 4.0 lbs aluminum body for comfortable portability
Built-in fingerprint reader with one-touch login via Windows Hello feature

My issue is with the USB C -- but I don't think he'll need to plug in much with it

USB-C is a minor hassle right now, but it's the way of the future.

He can always use an adapter/hub in the meantime.

I have the Lenovo ThinkPad with I5. It has been a very impressive computer so far.
