Tiger Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 If you haven't seen it, Autodesk have system requirements for their products (http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-AutoCAD-2014.html) I would look especially at the Additional Requirements at the bottom.

ReMark Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I would upgrade to a dedicated graphics card and a 9-cell battery (if you'll be using it in the field a lot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 2nd Remarks comment I could not pick out the graphics card in all the blurb, you want say a NVIDIA, in built INTEL chip graphics can be a problem as we found out the hard way 2015 does not run and we have 8 of them.
