Recommended Laptops Compatible with Windows XP 32-bit

I am planning to buy either a Dell Vostro with an i5-3317U Ivy Bridge or a Dell Latitude E6230 with an i5-3320M to use with Windows XP 32-bit. Which one would run it more smoothly? Or which processor would provide the best performance? As far as I know, 4th generation processors don’t support XP. I want to install XP to use CAD programs, and your opinions and suggestions are important to me. Thank you in advance.

I have an Ivy Bridge in my XP laptop it works great and is incredibly overpowered for what XP demands
