First thing you should do is visit the AutoDesk website and read up on the recommended MINIMUM system requirements for running LT.  Use that as the starting point for your laptop configuration.  I'd go a little above and beyond the minimum specs as you never know what you might be doing with this laptop a year or two from now.I'll make it easy for you.  Here's the link.https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-AutoCAD-LT-2016.html

Just about any laptop you buy would be able to run a 2D CAD program.  No, it does not need a dedicated graphics card but it wouldn't hurt.
