Best Mac specs for AutoCAD and Revit?

Anonymous · ‎08-12-2018

Hi everyone!

I am in the market for a new MacBook/MacBook Pro.

plan on running Bootcamp or Parallels on it to obtain AutoCAD and Revit. What specs do you all suggest I get? What are the minimum system requirements?

Basically, how can I decrease the chances of it crashing?

Hi Dj,

According to the System equirements for Autodesk Revit 2019 you can choose between MacBook Pro 13" (2.3GHz Dual-Core Processor, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM without Touch Bar and Touch ID) for "Minimum: Entry-Level Configuration" and MacBook Pro 15" (2.6GHz 6-Core Processor, 512GB Storage, 16GB RAM with Touch Bar and Touch ID) for "Performance: Large, complex models" configuration.
I think for "Entry-Level" you can even use MacBook Air 13" (advanced configuration with 2.2GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 and 8GB RAM) with external display.
"Entry level" configuration is suitable for AutoCAD in any case.
