2.7GHz 7th gen i7, 16GB LPDDR3-1600 SDRAM, Intel® HD Graphics 620 (up to 8.06 GB), 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD. Will the integrated graphics 620 be good enough to run autocad 2015 or any lower version of Autocad properly. 

Other than that option is New Macbook Pro, it also has an integrated graphics. Autocad works perfectly on that and also recommended by friends. since its works perfect on mac i was hopping it works fine too on intel 620.

The 520 shows up on the hardware page, so _probably_ the 620 version would be acceptable as well.  Sorta depends on how intense your work is going to be -- but intel graphics _today are better than nvidia or amd was a couple of years ago....

cute looking toy.  IMO a 13" screen would be a deal killer for any real autocad work.  24" min here, with 29" monitor ordered. Not exactly portable though.

Few of my friends mentioned to go for DGPU, and this laptops has integrated that's the only worry..I use only autocad 2d and layouts not that intense.

Wanted a portable 13" laptops to carry around for works and meeting as I travel a lot.

integrated graphics in 2006 were not very good,  That's no longer true, and a 13" laptop is a LOT easier to lug around than a tower and two 24" monitors.

On the bright side, that's not a 4K display, so your icons/text ought to be readable w/o carrying a magnifying glass around.  Since portability is the major criteria, it ought to work out.  check back in and let us know how you like it.
