3 different processors among the 5. Similar screen size; similar RAM; most have 1 TB drive

The i5-4200h at 2.8 ghz scores the highest on the Passmark benchmark, higher than the 1.8 ghz i7-4500u. The AMD A8-5557M scores the lowest.

Is there any reason you need an i7?

Autocad can be quite demanding. To the extent it is the most important task, I'd just go with the one with the strongest CPU.
