Current macbook pro has faster processor, faster front serial bus, and smarter heat dissipation. 20" is nothing as macs (used to) have a 17" macbook pro with same resolution (equals same working area). I've had a clevo 17" big bulky laptop at college and it doesn't pay off compared to a smaller 15" macbook pro in many ways. You would still have to install vista or xp to run autocad. But then you'll have a lot of flexibility in terms of no limitations of software you want to use. Don't know about graphic cards... probably the HP beats the macbook pro. big, heavy and probably way noisy as it’s still all plastic around.

Ignore the bell and whistle, go for the massive 20 inch screen... alternatively, one can purchase the 15 Inch DELL XPS with DVI output and project the screen on a 19 inch samsung/dell monitor.
