Help
I'm a student who needs a new laptop capable of 3d modelling. Won't be modelling on a day-to-day basis. Mostly will be used for AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite. 3d programmes i will be using are 3dsmax and SketchUp.

My first suggestion would be to buy none of them. Very few low-cost laptops have the graphics necessary to handle 3D modeling. If you can, I would go for a desktop PC with plenty of RAM and a good graphics card. If you must have a laptop, I would go for the first option.
