Laptop Selection

Can Revit be run on the New Lightweight Surface Laptop Go? 

My current laptop is an HP model 15-dw0046r. It has a Corei5 processor and 8GB of storage

but the CD is running at 100% at all times. I am looking to get a replacement laptop that I can use for school for a good price.

Google tells me there is 3,590,000 results and found them in 0.57 seconds (very boastful). I'm not going to read all of those however. There should be a search engine that just gives you the first result because the second result is often a page containing an alternate language version of the first result.

Hi, @Anonymous, of course it can, but its performance will be as good as the size or complexity of the projects wich you work on it, and the kind of task you usually engage. If you use it just for modelling or documentation it will be enough, but not for rendering or visualization, specially because the SLG doesn't come with a discrete GPU. Have my doubts about SSD speed and size, at least buy the 265GB option (and probably you stay short). In my own experience, the main bottleneck running Revit on a PC (after CPU speed) is SSD speed (even more than RAM size). If the SLG admits NVME PCIe SSD it will worth it.

Autodesk has the last word. Just take a look to system requirements for Revit 2021 products:
