Hi ahmal1974, Windows 7 64-bit and 8GB ram will be a good combination, but Lumion mainly uses the graphics card to render everything, so that choice will have a big impact on performance.

The 7690M seems to be classified as an "upper middle class graphics card":

"The 3D performance of the HD 7690M is slightly better than the GeForce GT 555M and is therefore positioned in the upper middle class as of 2011."

The 7470M is classified as a "lowermiddle class graphics card", and would not be a good choice:

"The performance  of the higher clocked GDDR5 version is about on a level of the Mobility Radeon HD 550v / GeForce GT 325M [...] and allows to play current games in medium detail and resolution settings."

For comparison, one of the fastest graphics card you can get in a laptop is currently the Nvidia 580M:
