Specs for new computer

goofygirl — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 17:39:01 GMT

Good morning,

I need to purchase a new laptop. I would like to stay with the Thinkpad. There are so many and I have looked at the LT specs for CAD LT and Revit LT and for the most part I can decipher however when it comes to graphic cards I am not confident. Can someone take a look at the specs below for a model I am interested in and let me know if this will serve me well? The one I have now has lasted 11 years! I've even dabbled in revit on it. Thank you in advance.

Greetings @goofygirl

REVITLT2023 system requirements are what will matter here for you, and they are quite specific: Lenovo Sales (sign up for free and go through the LenovoPRO Small Business Store) they can help you decipher which you need, here is the link to share with them and for you to review HERE

In my experience and opinion, the "Integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics" is just not going to cut it long term as your only graphics card use.
