I am looking at buying an Ultrabook for light use (20Mb files) / schematic design using AutoCAD LT 2014 whilst out and about.
I would also like to be able to run / view / ammend small (<50Mb) Revit models, along with Excel Calc sheets, structural analysis software (BeamPal & Strand7) & SketchUp Pro. No gaming.
I wont be doing any rendering etc....
All heavy work will be done on my office T3610 desktop or M6800 'laptop'.
The questions are:
1. Can HD4400 / HD5000 run AutoCAD LT.....productively?
2. i5 or i7?
3. Anyone had / share experience of running AutoCAD LT on this sort of setup?
I am looking at:
Lenovo X1 Carbon i7 4550u or i7 4660u / 8GB Ram / HD5000
Lenovo T440s i7 4600u / 8 to 12GB Ram / Nvidia GT730m
Any advice would be much appreciated.
