farmboypeter Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Any recommendations for a new faster laptop. I am currently running a 2 1/2 year old dell M6600, I7 processor, 16g ram, ssd, AMD firepro M8900 (fire GL) graphics card. I am currently working on a project with a large 3d structural model slows my work down considerably. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I have a fondness for the ones available at the Xi Computer website but they tend to be a bit pricey once you start customizing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to up it to a 4th gen i7, and increase your RAM and Video Card then I still think you'll have performance hits. AutoCAD MEP and live 3D modeling can and will buckle any computer that's a top runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
