Will AutoCAD run on my current laptop?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello all and thank you for all the answers in advance. I currently have an Acer Aspire ES1 laptop that has 4GB of DDR3 low voltage RAM and an Intel Celeron Processor (N2840 model). I'm going into my first year of engineering school and was wondering if AutoCAD will run on this laptop like previsouly listed above. If it doesn't run please reccommend a laptop that isn't too expensive that will run AutoCAD. Thanks again!

Hi,

 

welcome @Anonymous.autodesk.com!

 

>> But, it didn`t work

"It does not work" does not give us any information about the reason. It might be just a Windows setting or driver issue that - if repaired - makes AutoCAD working.

Let is know why you think AutoCAD is not working, was the installation successful or not, what do you click, what do you get as info, what can you see in screen ... and then we can give you information's about which AutoCAD would work or not.

 

Let us also know a bit about the environment: what operating system do you have, what graphic card do you have (and driver version).

Whereas 2GB is nowadays quite few.

Download and install the trial and then test it with your drawings.


I would say AutoCAD should start, but with just 4GB memory, only an Intel graphic board, ... it is not an CAD-laptop.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

The configuration is really on the low end for running AutoCAD successfully.  Here are the official system requirements but keep in mind that these are MINIMUM requirements.

 

Trials can be dowloaded here and here is a tool that will help to determine if your system is prepared for the install.

 

Please select the Accept as Solution button if my post solves your issue or answers your question.
