Laptop for Revit and AutoCAD

Hi, 

 

I have a question regardin laptops suitable for autodesk products, first and foremost för Revit and AutoCAD. 

 

I am looking for a new laptop for my girlfriend, who is a student and needs to be able to run Revit and AutoCAD smoothly. 

I have found 2 laptops that I think might be good for the intended use, and would like to get the communitys input on which one I should opt on. 

 

Dell inspiron 15 7000 

8th gen Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU (8 MB cache, up to 4,0 GHz)

8 GB RAM DDR4 2 400 MHz 

512 GB SSD

Windows 10 64-bit

NVidia GeForce 940 MX 4 GB GDDR5

 

 

Dell inspiron 15 7577

7th gen Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ, 4 cores (6 MB cache, up to 3,8 GHz)

16 GB DDR4  2 400 MHz RAM 

NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB GDDR5

Windows 10 64-bit

1 TB harddrive



The 7577 seems better, but costs about 300 dollars more than the 7000. 

Is it worth the extra money? (We are on a budget, since she is a student). 

 

Thank you in advance!

Thank you! 

 

Mainly I am a bit worried about the graphics card. The ones listed above arent om the certified/recomended list on autodesk, but I have seen them as viable options on other forums. 

Does anyone have any experience with those particular GPUs? 

GeForce 940 MX och GeForce 1050 Ti?

"Not certified" is not the same as "won't work".  They only test the workstation cards.

 

I'd recommend the second one for a few reasons.  8 GB isn't enough for anything other than web surfing these days, let alone technical design software.  You'll want the newer model graphics card as it supports the newer features in the latest releases.  They are also far more power efficient.

The Ti is a workhorse GPU, in my opinion, the only way to go with the two options you have.

Hi @ARQ-CAMILA.PORTEIRO

 

As the first step, please see the system requirements and recommendations for the Revit product line. A list of certified cards can be found on the Autodesk Certified Hardware page.

Curious if you ran the Revit RFO Benchmark and what the results were on the Dell Inspiron

Dzan,

 

Have you run the RFO Benchmark tests on your XPS 15?   I'm curious what the results were.

sorry....I have not ran that benchmark.  The system is currently about 4 years old now I think...

If you want me to run it, let me know and I will post the results.

Hey guys, could someone point me towards a benchmark/analysis is i7 9700k processor would be better for Revit 3d? Also, suggest me compatible motherboard. Because I'm looking to building a machine to work on large-scale PV projects on it, any help would be great, thanks in advance!

 

We Will also be using regular AutoCAD on it

Why are you building a workstation on a two generations old CPU architecture? I would recommend using the newest one.

You can read this recent article:

DO NOT BUY an HP ZBook - with the following configuration: Intel Core i7-9850H, 64 GB RAM 1 TB SSD, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Windows 10 Pro, 15.6 Inch Screen

FREEZES and CRASHES !! Terrible choice for Autocad 2022 and Revit 2022. Avoid !!

Hi Everyone! I am looking for a new laptop for school that will run Revit and AutoCAD. I found a laptop and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if it will work well. I'm on a bit of a budget because I am in school but I'm hoping this is a decent option.

For learning Revit and AutoCAD this laptop may be okay.  But don't expect it to handle decently any projects bigger than a house.
