New Laptop for Revit?

[Anonymous]

Hi

I'm an architecture student and need to buy a new laptop.  

I'm considering buying the Asus UX510U but before I purchase I was hoping someone could confirm it meets the minimum required specs for running Revit 2017. (Plus Autocad, Photoshop, Illustrator, SketchUp etc.) 

I have a desktop that I use at home, so this would be for doing work at university only. 

According to their website the Asus' specs are:  

• Processor
  Intel® Core™ i7 7500U/6500U Processor,
• Operating System
  Windows 10 Home
• Memory
  16 GB DDR4 2133MHz SDRAM
• Display
  15.6" (16:9) LED backlit FHD (1920x1080) 60Hz Anti-Glare Panel with 45% NTSC
• Graphic
  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M , with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM
• Storage
  Solid State Drives:
  512GB SATA3 M.2 SSD
  Solid State Drives:
  256GB SATA3 M.2 SSD
• Keyboard
  Illuminated Chiclet Keyboard
• Card Reader 
• WebCam
  HD Web Camera
• Networking
  Wi-Fi
  Integrated 802.11 AC (WIDI Support) 

Does anyone know, is this OK?  

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for taking your time to post this on the forum, 

I would suggest you compare it with the different products minimum requirements - look at the link below for Revit: 

System requirements for Autodesk Revit products

I am sure you can find minimum requirements for all those products through a Google search,
