Hi @Anonymous,

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

I see you started this conversation a few days ago but I hopefully am not too late to offer some help. I am curious why you are choosing AutoCAD when AutoCAD Civil 3D is probably a much better choice for doing civil engineering.  If this is really where you will end up then perhaps running on the MacBook is not the best choice.

My MacBook sounds very similar to @maxim_k's.  Typically I do architectural work and some 3D modeling. For this type of work it seems to perform well. Civil drawings though tend to be much larger and more complex.

I am not trying to dissuade you from a Mac purchase or AutoCAD but want to make sure that you are aware of the other options that are available to you.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
