Felix Carter - Shaw Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi Basic Info is that I'm wanting to buy a Lenovo s20 laptop with a; Intel® Celeron® Processor N2840 (2.16 GHz, 2.58 GHz with Burst, 1 MB cache) Ram 4 Gb Storage 320 Gb Im basically wondering will the processor run Autocad 2015 if not is there any small laptops (smaller the better) that are cheap and cheerful.

tzframpton Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It my "run" it, by that I mean it'll open... but that's not enough specs at all to run AutoCAD. Definitely not enough RAM. 8GB would be absolute bare minimum and I still would recommend 16GB. I cannot recommend this spec at all. In fact I'd just go ahead and say do not purchase that laptop for AutoCAD 2015. Core i5, 16GB RAM with the Intel 4000 series on-board graphics would be bare minimum in my opinion.

rkmcswain Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I've got an ASUS with a bit less specs than Tanner quotes, and it "runs" it, but I wouldn't want to have to rely on it for daily production work. I'd second what Tanner said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 You could probably buy a fairly decent used laptop off craigslist that would run AutoCAD 2015 for the same price you are willing to pay for an under-performing notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Carter - Shaw Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks for all the help so far So what sort of laptop would you guys recommemd then, I mean I do have access to other more power computer but they are desktops the idea behind this laptop is to be light as I'm travelling quite a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 There is a difference between a notebook and a laptop. Have you looked at the Dell XPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Core i5 quad, 8 gb ram, 256 ssd, nvidia GeForce graphics ( not ati or intel graphics). 16 gb ram if heavy 3d use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
