Which Macbook 13 or 15''?

Hi, I am about to buy a new Macbook Pro Retina. My favourite is the 13''. However it has no dedicated grafics card, instead the Intel Iris onboard. The alternative would be a 15'' with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M. Anyone who has experience with the new 13''? Or can give my advise .
Thanks

Thanks for the advise. But does it mean that Inv is not running at all on MB?
I am aware that a MB is no full replacement for a workstation but it stil should be possible to run it quite decently?
Any other experience?

Thx

You will need to do whatever is required to install Windows OS on Mac.

I do not know anything about Macs, but I know some Autodesk employees prefer to run Inventor on Mac, but again, that is with Windows OS.  If you do not know anything about dual boot OS you will have to learn about that as well.

 

Others will give there advice here if you wait a couple of days.

 

Are you sure Inventor is the program you need?

There are a lot of different Autodesk software programs - and my initial thought was that you accidently posted in the wrong forum.

Yes I know that this needs to run on a VM. I know how this works. My only question is relative to the performance and especially grafics on the small MBP.
