Dear Autodesk Revit Forum Members,
I am seeking expert guidance regarding the performance of Autodesk products on my recently purchased 16-inch MacBook Pro with a 12-Core CPU, 19-Core GPU, 16GB Unified Memory, and 512GB SSD Storage. My primary objective is to utilise this computer for intensive computing tasks within the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection, specifically Revit (including generative design), 3ds Max, AutoCAD, Inventor, Fusion 360, Maya, and BIM.
At the time of purchase, I was unaware that Revit, 3ds Max, and Inventor are only available on Mac via virtualised environments such as Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion, with Bootcamp not being an option for the M series processor.
Given this situation, I am concerned about potential performance limitations when running Revit on my MacBook Pro. If these limitations are significant, I am prepared to switch to a Windows-based system, as my priority is optimal performance with Autodesk products. In that case, I would appreciate any recommendations for the best laptops to run the aforementioned Autodesk products with optimal performance.
However, if the performance drop on a Mac is not considerable, I would be grateful for any advice on how to optimise my MacBook Pro for use with the mentioned products.
Thank you in advance for your invaluable insights.
Kind regards,
Jordan
