What is the perfect laptop to run any version of Revit?

I am a Junior in High school extremely interested in architecture and love using revit, and my school has these coputers that run all of autodesk's programs perfectly, especially revit. I would like to work on my house or another project at home and on my own computer. At the moment i would love to have a laptop (yes a laptop, at the moment i dont want to spend a lot on a desktop) my friend who feels the same for architecture recently got an Asus laptop that seems to run revit extremely well. I have been looking at the HP Envy. So I was wondering, what laptops are there (that are not too expensive) that are made or are suited to run the newest version of programs like Revit?

Thanks but, i know what and where the requirements are. I was hoping to get a name of a laptop to look at or at least a brand of laptops to look into.

Thanks. Two more things, one, do you know of any site that either compares indvidual computers/laptops or that compares the specs of a computer to the requirements for revit? Two, do you know of a place that makes custom desktops and has one specificly for autodesk programs?

For running any version of Revit smoothly, consider a laptop with:

  1. Intel Core i7 or i9 / AMD Ryzen 7 or 9 CPU
  2. Dedicated NVIDIA Quadro or GeForce RTX / AMD Radeon Pro or RX GPU
  3. 16GB to 32GB RAM
  4. SSD storage
  5. Full HD or higher resolution display
  6. Adequate ports for connectivity

You may ask on a computer forum like LTT. As mentioned above, a gaming laptop that has (independently verified) good cooling probably is your best bet. 

 

Mobile devices (and even cheap desktops) don't get cooled well and thermal-throttle. So only consider one that was independently tested to actually perform well under longer loads. Gamers usually stress the GPU/CPU for a longer time, hence the recommendation for a gaming laptop. 

 

Forget what Autodesk recommends. They are either totally naïve, or want to make their software look extremely efficient. For CPU single threaded performance still seems to be best for Revit as opposed to slower clocked multi-core CPU. I don't know mobile CPUs well, but for a desktop I'd say 8-core with turbo boost close to 5GHz is good. 32GB is a more practical minimum. 

 

TBH, you will want larger monitors anyway. A desktop is a much better choice unless you just need to do a quick edit on the beach. 

Revit version: R2025.4

I'm using an HP Envy right now and it's the second one I've had. The first I killed with a cup of coffee :enttäuschtes_Gesicht: It's not a speed burner but I've been pleasantly surprised how well it has worked for me. I originally bought it as an interim computer to get by until I found a good replacement for my hi performance (at the time) Dell laptop, when it died. Years later I'm still using it. So unless you're going to be working on projects that needs tons of RAM and Video graphics it will be a good balance between budget and performance. In general, I'd buy as much RAM, CPU, VRAM as you can afford as a hedge for lasting into the future.

You're probably going to pay a premium to pay someone to build you a custom computer. Building one yourself would certainly save you money.

 

Honestly, if you're only in high school, I wouldn't be looking at any super high end machines yet. Find a reasonably priced gaming desktop or laptop (as noted above, laptops do inherently have issues a desktop wouldn't) and go with that for now. If you decide to stick with architecture into college and beyond, then you can upgrade.

 

Edit: gah, I've been bamboozled into replying to an 8 year old thread... this kid is probably a practicing architect by now :Gesicht_mit_Freudentränen:

I refrained to respond for the exact reason.  Computer specs are outdated after 6 months or so.
